Package: dh-kpatches
Version: 0.99.36
Severity: serious

Hi,

according to the Description, the purpose of dh-kpatches is to produce patches
to be automatically usable by kernel-package:

============================================================================
 The dh_installkpatches script produces the "apply" and "unpatch" scripts
 that kernel-package uses to automatically handle kernel patches.
============================================================================

However, kernel-package dropped the option "--added-patches" around 09/2009.
Thus, dh-kpatches doesn't look very useful anymore.

The package would either need to be dropped or change its purpose somehow.

Thanks for considering.

bye,
  Roland
