I recall fixing a ticket about Trisquel not using the scripts the 
"correct" way, and since then I've been maintaining new changes.

So yes, I do have to clean the extra stuff Ubuntu adds, mainly because 
otherwise the compilation breaks. So, that process gets some extra hours 
to make sure all gets tight up.

I personally don't think Trisquel can detach easily from the upstream 
kernel it uses, since from it the installer pulls udebs (microdebs) 
required for the netinstall. Decommissioning the current workflow will 
very likely make it harder not only for Trisquel to clean linux trees, 
but other projects too.

Either way something will clearly need to get done next year when that 
happens, a new component that completes the missing pieces might need to 
be developed.

Anyhow, thank you for all your work so far.

Cheers!
