Summary: Security setup for mkimage to function properly
Description:
This package contains settings allowing mkimage to operate as intended -- it relies on hardlinks to non-owned files to spare space for copies within and outside chroots as well as to save time and CPU cycles on actually performing those; either free RAM, SSD wearing or HDD bandwidth are to be spent with care too). Please note that this subpackage disables an otherwise reasonable security feature that's there for a reason but is almost completely incompatible with important part of mkimage's design and security model. Changes take place upon the installation of this package and are made persistent by a configuration file held within it. Remove mkimage-preinstall subpackage and run this to re-enable: echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/protected_hardlinks (this will break mkimage though)
