    * Package name : systemd-boot-installer

    Can this be merged into the normal systemd source package?

    I feel like from a d-i perspective that'd be highly unusual? Having the
    purely d-i-specific components be owned by d-i is the common setup.

    Kind regards

    If it doesn't make sense to merge it (i.e. because it is a glue package
    between two unstable interfaces), then that is fine, but I think that
    the interfaces on both the d-i and the systemd side are stable enough.

    From the d-i side we've generally preferred to have all the UI be part
    of the installer (especially for translations etc.).
