It’s necessary for any package I upload, for the following reason: From an earlier eMail I cannot find right now, when I questioned the bootability and usability of the archive once the migration has started, I got the answer that the eglibc preinst refuses to let dpkg install it if the kernel running is too old. This means that it must know that we need a kernel > 2.6.29, because other- wise, the system might Do Bad Things™ during an upgrade and fail because it installs a TLS libc on a non-TLS-capable system. I’m trying to do things as correctly and as close to the Debian way as possible, no matter what comfort or tradition says. bye, //mirabilos -- I believe no one can invent an algorithm. One just happens to hit upon it when God enlightens him. Or only God invents algorithms, we merely copy them.
