hi debianers!

there a better source to report suggestions for mac builds? (intel x86)

i found out that the debian installer is able to boot in UEFI-mode if I 
replace the DOSMBR with a GPT header within the usb installer media.

I'm wondering who I can send this suggestion to, as there are mac users 
who are resorting to the more dangerous hybrid dosmbr+GPT configuration.

By being able to boot the installer in UEFI-mode(as opposed to CSM-MBR), 
here I can completely avoid having to use the problematic gptsync...

.. and would like the debian installer to be improved for macs.

there's a mac iso on the debian servers, but I am not sure how I can 
determine who is in charge of maintaining it.

I'm thinking I may have sent it to the wrong mailing list, and not sure 
where to look.

thanks
