Comment 2 for bug 364009

Thanks for your patch.

Your patch is reversed.

Goodness me, that's a lot of work to parse /proc/cmdline. Did you not see the code above in the same init script that iterates over /proc/cmdline in shell, without the need to start awk? You can deal with splitting foo=bar in pure shell too, with something like "${x#*=}".

This isn't your fault, but I'm beginning to become uncomfortable with the number of haphazardly-named boot parameters owned by ubiquity. I'd like to have new parameters namespaced, so perhaps the debconf-style ubiquity/frontend=gtk_ui; I don't mind so much at this point whether that's actually parsed by debconf or by the init script.
