[Pkg-iscsi-maintainers] Bug#810702: Generate initiator name on install, not first boot

[Martin Pitt]

Hello Ritesh,

I'm afraid I really don't know much about open-iscsi and the details
why this patch was introduced. James, would be great if you can
provide some background.

Ubuntu debian-installer does have some differences, but it's
generally the same. Does d-i really start services during
installation? I would have expected it to install a temporary
policy-rc.d, as presumably many services would fail in
the d-i environment still. Then calling update-initramfs would put the
dummy initiator config into the generated initrd which would fail to
boot.

But supposedly you tried to set up open-iscsi in the Debian installer.
Does that work, or maybe Debian's d-i does not even offer to set up
open-iscsi? Ubuntu's does, that might be the important difference
here.

Thanks,

Martin
