Subject: new kernel-package breaks official linux-2.6 kernel builds, should not propagate to testing.

Package: kernel-package
Version: 10.008
Severity: grave


As discussed on irc, the new 10.008 kernel-package was prematurely uploaded to
unstable, and breaks linux-2.6 builds. The issues at hand are : 

  1. the missing config caues manuals not to build
  2. the headers build binaries uneccessarily (but doesn't break build)
  3. missing depends and recommends in the linux-image package.

These are probably due to a k-p regression, which means that both the config
for the arch-indep build and the control file provided by the linux-2.6 build
infrastructure are not used for the final packages, for some yet mysterious
reason.

This is being worked on, and hopefully a fix will be out soon, but in the
meantime, kernel-package 10.008 is useless for official linux-2.6 builds, and
since it is in unstable, means we cannot upload anymore linux-2.6 packages
until it is fixed, which makes this RC.

Friendly,

Sven Luther
