The fact that we're delivering the Quantal 12.10 kernel in 12.04 via a
PPA, we can't guarantee that what we upload to the Quantal release
pocket will simultaneously exist in the PPA.  We will try to eliminate
the skew as much as we can by uploading to the PPA as soon as we upload
to the archive, but again, we can't guarantee there will never be a
skew.  Brendan, could you maybe explain why this skew is causing an
issue in the first place?

Thanks,
