mkimage.sh: allow setting the namespace from which to obtain a branch in reform-debian-packages repo

Michal Suchanek authored 4 months ago and Johannes Schauer Marin Rodrigues committed 3 weeks ago

 - it's futile to use debconf (for console-setup but also in general)
 - with that modifying the configuration after the fact is needed

Fixes: b4dff490 ("mkimage: configure console-setup to not touch font")

Use update-alternatives instead of manual symlinking, so that the
override stays in place even after an xterm update. This also ensures
that the man page is updated accordingly.

Font is to be set up in u-boot by adding device-specific parameter to
the kernel commandline.

do not remove the world-readable bit from files in /etc/skel. The bash package also installs files into /etc/skel with mode 644

This is for example the case on gitlab CI without
FF_DISABLE_UMASK_FOR_DOCKER_EXECUTOR. Git only tracks the executable bit
but not the others. We need to make sure not to create world writable
files owned by root.

This copies in device-specific files to make them available on all
platforms for a universal initramfs that works on all platforms.  This
is to make sure that the initramfs we create here also contains
ls1028a-mhdpfw.bin and /usr/bin/dmesg for LS1028A or /usr/bin/setfont
and Uni2-TerminusBold32x16 for the Pocket Reform. Alternatively, we
could also add a customize-hook which runs update-initramfs multiple
times with different content for /etc/flash-kernel/machine and creates a
different initramfs per platform that way. But since we ultimately would
like to have an identical /boot independent of the platform, we create a
universal initramfs here.

do not remove initramfs hooks and scripts in reform-firstboot.service but at the very end of the script in a customize-hook to make sure they really cannot be part of an initramfs generated on the device
