Hm, $ cat /usr/share/doc/linux-image-2.6.18-6-686/Buildinfo This was produced by kernel-package version 10.067. Wasn't this package created by the kernel team? > It seems this bug has stranded at the wrong spot: Max got away with a > false[1] statement and Manoj is obviously never going to update > kernel-package documentation base don it. > > > - Jonas > > [1] As of today, linux-2.6 build-depends on kernel-package. Hm, so what should we do? As far as I have heard, there's no real stable kernel branch any longer, and the kernel developers leave it mostly to distributors to maintain a stable branch. Debian does provide kernels, so all is well - unless I want to compile add-on modules. Since the kernel image package was created by kernel-package, it seems logical to me to use the same infrastructure to compile them, but that doesn't seem to be straightforward. I'm still unsure whether one should definitely not use kernel-package for that purpose, or where the information I am missing can, or should, be found.
