First up I'd like to applogise for the confusion and multiple bug
reports surrounding this. The simple truth is that the legacy
of the Sarge-era kernel packaging has left us with a mess, that
we are trying to sift through and slowly clean up. Its turning
out to be quite complicated, and thats not something that
you should have been asked to worry about.

I suggest that we just track this as 323183, rather than mucking around
with opening and merging existing bugs. Please let me know if you would
prefer a different approach.

I've just spent a bit of time looking through this and here
is a summary of where I beleive we are, others, please comment
if this is inaccurate or incomplete. If there are ammendments
I'll try and correlate them into an updated list.
