I mean, well, there are arch specific stuff, but we just unpack the
linux-image kernel .debs and put the stuff inside the .udebs, the only thing
remotely arch-dep i see, even reading the kernel-wedge documentation is the
depmod run. I am not sure how arch-dep depmod really is though, but this could
be solved by running depmod at .deb generation time, and somewhere include
this depmod info in the official packages. Or fix depmod to be able to run
cross-arch or something, since there is nothing magical i believe in the way
the dependency tree is created, and all the info should be in the modules.
Mmm, need to investigate this, thanks Joeyh for providing this insight.
/me would still feel more confortable building all these .udebs from the main
kernel packages, as the ubuntu guys do.
