Comment 14 for bug 1337538

deciding to install a package should not *break* other packages.
thats the problem we have.

the images are built to be generic. they don't have specific target when their built. and this is the only point where they have to know that target at "package selection time". Everything else just works.

The bug is easily recreated on a system that should not use flash-kernel:
 $ apt-get install flash-kernel
 $ upate-initramfs
 FAIL

thats a bug. installing 1 package should not break another.
