I just see that this is not relevant as kfreebsd uses a different tree
within k-w than linux.
I'd already started wondering why k-w could be used at all for a totally
different kernel without modification, but that is because support was
already added in 2006 (#365074).
Still, the basic argument remains the same: the current definition inside
the udeb itself is consistent with what's currently done for Linux and I
really don't see any maintenance cost associated with it.
In fact, given that apparently apparently no changes are needed in k-w at
all even though it reflects a kfreebsd kernel from *2006* kind of
indicates it'slikely hardly any maintenance will be needed...
If only the Linux kernel were that stable :-P
