[Precise][SRU][linux-meta][PATCH 1/2] UBUNTU: Move metapackages to Section: kernel

leann.ogasawara at canonical.com leann.ogasawara at canonical.com
Tue Nov 20 20:50:18 UTC 2012 

From: Leann Ogasawara <leann.ogasawara at canonical.com>

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1074787

Packages built from linux-meta source are currently in Section:
metapackages. The original rationale for this was that Recommends were
handled differently for 'metapackages' (bug #114662).

This rationale no longer applies and has not for a long time (all
recommends are now installed by default). Instead, use of this section
causes all *dependencies* of the linux metapackages to be marked as
'manual', preventing them from ever being cleaned up by apt autoremoval.
