To avoid confusion when people misfile bugs about a source package, it seems that the BTS invents a fake <package> binary package for any source package <package>. That's why http://bugs.debian.org/src:linux-2.6 lists kernel bugs filed against the linux-2.6 binary package, too, even though there is no actual linux-2.6 binary package in Debian. So if that's the reason behind this proposal, I'm tempted to just close it. The change would involve taking a risk with no upside to balance it. There wouldn't have to be a huge upside to balance a small risk, but there has to be something. I could easily be missing something. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
