The proposal was only to do automated builds when new kernel packages are
there, to avoid the disparate uploads for different arches, since .udbe builds
are nothing but repackaging, there is nothing arch-dep in there, or could be
removed as needed. I think Colin already builds them all together on the same
box, since he mentioned it was not needed to have the kernels installed in the
past.
The issues where with building all the .udebs from all the arches from the
same package, or including them in the upstream kernel source package, or
doing one .udeb per module.
What i am proposing here is only the minimal semi-automated rebuild of all the
kernel .udeb packages by the same person, so nothing ground breaking, but
avoiding the need of 12 different person to get involved.

Yep, a recapitulation of all the older posted issues on some wiki page would
be a good first step, i think.
