Documenting this more explicitly in the README.Debian and closing the bug. -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzaf...@jabber.org | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il || a Mutt's tzaf...@cohens.org.il || best tzaf...@debian.org|| friend

Internally (in Xorcom) we have a modified package that builds kernel modules at dahdi-linux package build time. The down side to that is that you can only build modules for a single kernel (and have to set that kernel version ahead of build time. We use an ugly hack to set that as you really can't edit the build-depends in a package at build time.
