</I>It was in Mandriva since version 9.1, and is also in mga1/core.
It is in the rpm group system/kernel-and-material, like grub.
I think it would be more appropriate if they (grub, extipl and similar
packages) were placed in system/configuration/boot-and-init.
As well as not being lost among the huge number of kernel packages,
their entire purpose is booting the computer, including configuration.
