Subject: linux-image-2.6.15-13-server: long description does not tell why and for what the pkgs is good for
Package: linux-image-2.6.15-13-server
Severity: wishlist

Current description is:

        This package contains the Linux kernel image for version 2.6.15 on
        server equipment, the corresponding System.map file, and the
        modules built by the packager.

'on server equipment'  that all and a bit less ;). Nothing about e.g.,
cpu type, smp, max memory, additional modules, ignored etc. One get's no
idea why one should choose this pkg compared to other linux-image pkgs.

        If you wish to update a bootdisk, or to use a bootloader to make
        installing and using the image easier, we suggest you install the latest
        fdutils (for formatting a floppy to be used as boot disk), and LILO, for
        a powerful bootloader. Of course, both these are optional.

nothing -server pkg specific.
        .
        Kernel image packages are generally produced using kernel-package, and it
        is suggested that you install that package if you wish to create a custom
        kernel from the sources.

Ditto, nothing -server pkg specific.
