Package: debian-cd
Version: 3.1.35

Following the recent discussion on d-boot [1], it seems we agreed to drop
win32-loader from the Debian CDs, as it's not likely to be very useful these
days.

win32-loader seems also present on debian-installer [2], I'll therefore clone
the bug.

As for the win32-loader package, its network version [3] is still probably
useful, and doesn't take much space on mirrors; let's keep it.

Best,
OdyX
