Bug Description

Binary package hint: syslinux

The most recent maverick package now requires a "DEFAULT' entry, which was previously optional (and upstream document it as such). Whilst this could be a design decision, it got potentially cause regression with peoples scripts that depend on the documented behavior of the first entry being made default if a default entry is not explicitly defined.

I have only attempted to reproduce this using PXELinux
