Well, the point is so that others can build the x86 boot-floppies
without having special magic. What I would like to see is a
kernel-image-2.0.36-tecra_2.0.36-1.deb or something, i.e., a special
package for tecra kernel images, and have the .deb be in the Debian
archive.
Having a kernel-patch-tecra package is a sensible alternative.
As it is, I can neither really build the boot-floppies, nor can I help
our Herbert by trying to merge the changes which Fabrizio made for his
thinkpad kernels into the tecra images. I think the fact that the
tecra image is so elusive only makes it a lot harder for us to support
things like tecra and thinkpads and wierd laptops.
