[Bug 253904] Re: does not build a lot of metapackages any more

linux-ports-meta fixed quite a bit of this. The remaining missing
packages are:

linux-headers-cell
linux-headers-openvz
linux-headers-xen
linux-image-cell
linux-image-debug-generic
linux-image-debug-server
linux-image-openvz
linux-image-xen
linux-kernel-devel
linux-openvz
linux-source
linux-xen

*-cell were transitional packages to *-powerpc64-smp in hardy, so we can
ignore those.

The openvz and xen flavours are missing from intrepid. Is there any hope
that they will return?

linux no longer seems to build linux-image-debug-* (e.g. linux-image-
debug-2.6.24-16-generic). Was this intentional? Are crash dumps gathered
in some other way now? I haven't been keeping track. This is
particularly odd since linux-ports still builds linux-image-
debug-2.6.25-2-386.

linux used to build linux-kernel-devel, which was a metapackage with the
following dependencies. Should it be restored?

  build-essential, curl, debhelper, git-core, gitk, kernel-package,
kernel-wedge, openssh-client, rsync

It seems that linux-meta ought to build linux-source (linux-
source-2.6.27 exists, and linux-ports-meta builds linux-ports-source).
