Package: kernel-package Version: 10.008 Severity: grave
As discussed on irc, the new 10.008 kernel-package was prematurely uploaded to unstable, and breaks linux-2.6 builds. The issues at hand are : 1. the missing config caues manuals not to build 2. the headers build binaries uneccessarily (but doesn't break build) 3. missing depends and recommends in the linux-image package. These are probably due to a k-p regression, which means that both the config for the arch-indep build and the control file provided by the linux-2.6 build infrastructure are not used for the final packages, for some yet mysterious reason. This is being worked on, and hopefully a fix will be out soon, but in the meantime, kernel-package 10.008 is useless for official linux-2.6 builds, and since it is in unstable, means we cannot upload anymore linux-2.6 packages until it is fixed, which makes this RC.
