Title:
  [MIR] u-boot-menu

Status in u-boot-menu package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in u-boot-menu source package in Focal:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Availability]

  In universe.

  [Rationale]

  Devices that have u-boot (such as HiFive SiFive boards in their
  onboard SPI flash) can discover and use extlinux/extlinux.conf config
  file to render a boot menu and give users interactive choice of
  kernels to boot.

  This is similar to `update-grub` functionality for the grub based
  bootloaders that find all the kernels and generate `Ubuntu` menuentry.

  It is a trivial shell script, that is maintained as a Debian native
  package to automatically integrated with kernel postinst scripts to
  generate said config file automatically upon kernel installs.

  Thus this package is intended to be seeded on the uboot based
  preinstalled ubuntu-server images such as riscv64 one.

  [Security]

  Faily minimal shell script, with an optional configuration file (for
  overrides, unused by default) that is executed as root as part of
  kernel postinst machinery.

  [Quality assurance]

  Maintained in Debian, and in Ubuntu by Foundations Team.

  [Dependencies]

  It's fairly freestanding, depends on linux-base only. As bootloader is
  expected to be provided externally which will discover, parse, and use
  the conf file this package generates in /boot.

  [Standards compliance]

  Adheres to the Debian Policy.
  [Maintenance]

  [Background information]

  In use on riscv64 ubuntu-cpc cloud-images & preinstalled ubuntu-
  server.
