Package: installation-report
Version: 2.95
Severity: wishlist

Dear maintainers,

installation-report.template recommends to attach installation logs and 
other useful files to the bug report. However it appears that the 
debian-boot mailing list which receives these reports discards mails 
bigger than ~500 kB. For example some reports contain high-resolution 
screen shots or the whole contents of /var/log/installer including 
cdebconf data which take much more than 500 KB, even compressed. As a 
consequence, such reports may remain unnoticed until someone browses the 
BTS. So the template should warn about the mail size limit.

Or would it be better to raise or remove the mailing list size limit ?
