As discussed on irc, we still need to find out why the new k-p break (or
whatever you want to call it) the linux-2.6 control file mechanism, and thus
we end up with missing dependencies on the linux-image packages, which break
the ramdisk-tool upgrade path.
Please don't upload the package to unstable until we know what is going on,
and fix it, but i guess that was always your intentions.
