I don't know what or whom to assign to.

However, the isobuilders will know, so assigning to them ;-)

Please reassign when needed.

I had this same problem with the Live ISO I've been building. I've managed to "fix" the problem by replacing the boot/syslinux/bootlogo file with a copy of the boot/gfxmenu file, but I don't understand why this is necessary - or how it ever worked in the past.

This looks to have been fixed in the latest 5.1 ISO. Ben, can you confirm?
