Indeed. It seems Jens prefers the kernel-patch-powerpc-<ver>, and i think it makes sense. > > Can you explain these missing build-deps issues ? > > Sure: > http://people.debian.org/~dannf/kernel-stats/kern-dep.html > Each '*' represents a build dependency on either the kernel-source, > kernel-tree, or kernel-debian-patch package from that version of > kernel-source.
