Package: linux-2.6
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream
Hello,
I was not sure where to send this patch, better here to Debian community for
review.
I found a bit annoying that using upstream deb-pkg target does not allow me
to create
proper Debian packages when cross compiling, so I have created the following
patch
which attempts to address this issue.

Do you think is sane to send this patch to upstream? In that case, which
would be the appropiate
place to get the proper attention?
