Binary package hint: ksplice

I am one of the developers of Ksplice, and we would like to request that
the ksplice 0.8.7 package be removed from Intrepid.  We have also
requested that ksplice 0.8.7 be removed from Debian Lenny.

Ksplice 0.8.7 was an early version of Ksplice; it does not work with
Intrepid’s 2.6.27 kernel, and it has various other problems that make it
unsuitable for general use.  The Ksplice 0.9.x releases include
extensive improvements, but we realize this upgrade would probably be
unrealistic this late in the Intrepid release cycle (also, we are still
working to resolve an incompatibility with the CONFIG_FTRACE option in
Intrepid’s kernel configuration).

We hope that Ksplice can be included with Ubuntu in the future, but for
now we believe Ubuntu users would be best served by removing the 0.8.7
package from Intrepid.
