There are two sorts of changes: - Modules got renamed/merged/removed. This will kill the build if not fixed, so we need to be able to do such changes on ourself. - Modules got added. This may have an effect, but usualy it is new hardware support. Now please explain why you _need_ to change that directly and produce the following workflow "mailto:d-i, commit, upload k-w, mailto:kernel, commit, upload l" instead of "mailto:kernel, commit, upload l". This is a classical indirection. > This looks > logical since we'll be directly affected by it and the installer might > break. Everything might break.
