I'm a Debian Developer and one of the developers of Debian's installation 
system. My suggestion would be to simply ignore discover. It is not used 
anymore and the fact that it's un(der)maintained does not surprise me.

A simple follow-up to the bug report announcing the removal of the old 
interface per kernel version X would be appreciated. If it actually 
results in a build failure, it will probably get updated quickly enough. 
The available patch will help with that.

Cheers,
FJP
