Package: kernel-package
Version: 11.001-0.1
Severity: serious
Hi,
It does not work with the current set of kernels, and the code
base has grown bloated. The current state of kernel-package is unfit
for release.
A new version of kernel-package is under construction, which
sloughs off most of the cruft that has accumulated in kernel-package
over the last decade or so, and does a clean design. Unfortunately, the
work has been going slower than expected, though I am hoping I can
finish it off this month.
Since the kernel team has long deprecated kernel-package, and
have their own code for generating kernel images, this should not have
an impact on most things.
