As far as I've understand that: - Arne has a home-build kernel (not with make-kpkg but with make && make install - Arne want's to build a kernel module with m-a
Arne, please correct me if I'm wrong. The point is: - We need these deps for smooth upgrade paths of most users Possible solutions in my eyes: - Build the kernel with make-kpkg.. then it is easily possible to use m-a - Build the vbox module with make && make install A mixture between dpkg build kernel /modules and home build kernel / modules is in my eyes not supported.
