Who cares, really, all our packaging material source is held in subversion,
and there is snapshot.debian.net, which should both satisfy to the requirement
of the GPL. I will not fix this prior to release, definitively not. But if you
feel like providing patches or fixing that yourself, i would welcome the
changes, altough it would be tested and checked to make sure it doesn't break
more than it should.
Post-sarge, we will probably have a common kernel-source/kernel-image/whatever
package, which will build both the sources and the kernel-images, but this is
defintively post-sarge stuff, altough i plan to work on it in the
2.6.10/2.6.11 packaging stuff once i find some time.
