Fine, but still it would be nice to provide at least some context when
forzarding such kind of mail, as a courtesy to offline readers, and
since i am not at home right now, my internet access is somewhat
sketchy.

Anyway, i have no read the bug report quickly, and notice that :

  1) upcoming 2.6.5 packages will be fully modular.
  2) For this reason, i have built JFS, XFS and reiserfs in the kernel a
  week or two ago, so this should be no problem. I have no idea what the
  testing status of it is though, but this should be fixed in the -8 in
  unstable, which also closes a bunch of seucirty holes.

Hope this helps, and explains my misunderstanding about thisproblem.

Friendly,
