Bug Description

Vivid will come with a new syslinux package:

  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/syslinux/3:6.03+dfsg-5

This version has a more robust networking stack and better hardware support. However, file locations have changed (for instance, /usr/lib/PXELINUX is now where the pxelinux.0 file goes, and /usr/lib/syslinux has subdirectories for bios and efi binaries), so MAAS will need to be updated to find and link them in the right place.

So I've done thorugh every single binary package to compare what's the difference between 3:6.03~pre18+dfsg-1ubuntu1 and 3:6.03+dfsg-5. This just seems that it won't affect MAAS at all, because it doesn't seem to be removing files that we use in favor of moving them elsewhere:
