Sorry if i sounded harsh. Just got a bit strerssed up.

I think the proper way is to fix update-extlinux, which after
reading the sources, is indeed a very nice tool.

I think we also want some upgrade scripts and try to import the
alpine-2.2 generated + manual stuff. I think we could try parse the
current extlinux.conf and fish out the interesting parts
to  /etc/update-extlinux.d/ where we put the rest of the local
customizations.

And i think we should rename /etc/extlinux.conf
to /etc/update-extlinux.conf

I think I will have a little time to look at it tonight.
