But also the possibility that the user wants it this way. For win4lin it
is a bit different (since patches are likely to differ between stock and
multi-media), but win4lin SRPMS can have tighter requires then. For most
kernel modules, there should be no need to change anything on the
package to make it work on mm kernels vs stock kernels, so there is no
reason to have mutliple SRPMS.

Once again, win4lin-multi-media is a bit different, from say ltmodem,
NVIDIA etc kernel modules, which should be able to build against any
kernel-source. I see kernel-multimedia does not provide kernel, is there
any reason why I should not be able to have only a multimedia kernel?

I'll have to consider some changes in some packages, which were using
output of 'rpm -q kernel-source' for kernel revision, but ideally we
should allow to compile kernel modules with multiple kernel-source
packages installed, package version determined by where /usr/src/linux
points to (version.sh in the Mandrake NVIDIA RPMs like the one I mailed
on the club list should get this right AFAIK).
