Bugs against the linux-2.6 source get ignored or you get comments like
"breaks cross building" and any request of the error or a build log
gets ignored.

I think the blame is much more on the kernel team than manoj. He
doesn't have a crystal ball to see linux-2.6 problems relevant to
kernel-package. The team has to report them first. Only then can you
have a discussion about the problems and find solutions.
