The error message seems clear enough; that bug report has been archived and does not accept mail. This is an anti-spam measure.

[...] Previously the lguest source moved from Documentation/lguest to Documentation/virtual/lguest, and bug #638012 was filed because kernel-package didn't look for it in the new directory. That was fixed in version 12.036+nmu2. More recently it moved again to tools/lguest, and of course kernel-package doesn't know about the new directory. This is a new bug, really. But lguest is useless so it might be best just to remove support from kernel-package altogether. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Anthony's Law of Force: Don't force it, get a larger hammer.
