As a small note, CONFIG_LIBETH is removed from 
debian.gcp/config/annotations, and its value is now 'm' (inherited from 
the parent kernel) due to it being selected by CONFIG_IDPF.
o:gcp has 1b1b26208515 ("idpf: reuse libeth's definitions of parsed 
ptype structures"), which the previous releases didn't.
