Submit bug report to which package for security upgrade?
The recent kernel 2.6 security upgrade for sarge revealed a packaging
problem and/or documentation issue I attempted to report on
debian-security (1).
Basically, on a new sarge install, kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686 was
installed by the installer. kernel-image-2.6-686 was not installed, but
it was *required* for the security update. Only by reading the Debian
Security Advisory and seeing nothing upgraded after an aptitude
update/upgrade did I discover the problem.
Moritz Muehlenhoff on debian-security says this is a documentation
problem (2). I see it as a packaging problem as well.
Rather than posting this on debian-doc, I'd appreciate your perspectives
and suggestions inasmuch as debian-user is the designated list for such
advice (3).
Is it a bug? Which package should get the bug report?
Thanks & regards,
Ralph
