Description: Linux/PowerPC kernel binary image for the powerpc flavour
 This package contains the Linux/PowerPC kernel image, the
 System.map file, and the modules built by the package.
 .
 This version contains the kernel images for uniprocessor PowerPC machines,
 Using from the ppc601 upto the latest G4 class processors.
 .
 Kernel image packages are generally produced using kernel-package,
 and it is suggested that you install that package if you wish to
 create a custom kernel from the sources.  You will also need
 kernel-patch-2.4.27-powerpc

So, it should be in the archive, for sarge, etch and sid, i think. We will be
kicking it out of sid soon though, so we really need the stuff ported to a 2.6
kernel.

Friendly,

Sven Luther
