kernel-package (10.005) heading to experimental

[Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@ieee.org>]

Hi,

        I think this fixes all issues that had been reported to
 me. 10.006 should head out to Sid tonight, or tomorrow.

kernel-package (10.005) experimental; urgency=low

* Bug fix: "kernel/image.postinst should mention GRUB", thanks to
  Martin Michlmayr. Well, I don't see why we should mention _any_ boot
  loader at all, so we are no longer biased against grub. (Closes: #336927)
* Bug fix: "kernel-package: Using dpkg --remove followed by dpkg
  --install does not restore the kernel package", thanks to Daniel
  Jacobowitz. Also: "kernel-package tells me we're being reinstalled AND
  updated". Actually, the installed/updated is just sematics; when you
  reinstall a kernel image you are updating it, and vice versa. The
  actual problem was that while the symbolic links were removed when the
  package was removed, dpkg passed the last-version-configured to the
  postinst, and we took that as evidence that the package had been
  installed before -- which, while true, did not take into account that
  the package was currently uninstalled. The fix is to always see if a
  missing symlink needs to be installed, and not touch existing
  symlinks.                                       (Closes: #336733,  #336517).
* Added kernel/pkg/headers/create_link as an example. The user can install
  it in the postinst.d directory to set up the /lib/modules/foo/build
  symlink to point to the kernel-headers. This is not needed, since the
  kernel-image postinst already checks in the /usr/src/ directory for an
  installed kernel headers package.
* Convert the image prerm scripts to debconf as well, the questions are
  asked if we try to remove the running kernel image, or if we are
  removing a kernel version mentioned in boot loader configuration.
* Have the minimal.mk not overwrite the control or the changelog file. 
* Added a whole slew of config files, and updated older ones, to bring
  the configurations offered up by default to be more in line with
  official kernels.
* Fixed substitutions in the kernel image package, there was a duplicate
  =B substitution. 
* Ran lintian on all the generated packages. Fixed FSF address in all
  the copyright notices, and fixed case in the templates file as
  well. This shall be the last experimental release, barring major
  problems.
