Re: What is with the kernel maintainer? (How not to close Bug#147077)

I built a custom kernel using "make-kpkg". I also built a
pcmcia-modules package to accompany this kernel. When I try

Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> closed the report with:
You shouldn't include PCMCIA modules in your kernel-image if you
intend to install it with pcmcia-modules. -
Do appropiate diversions help about that?
For instance, ftape-source package allows diversion of kernel modules by
the ftape-module-xx-xx-xx packages. I am doing some sort of backup
maintainance of the package and I test it with a kernel compiled with
ftape support, and ftape-module installed at the same time. No problem,
ftape-module wins. You can also do it smart about kernel version if, as
with kernel ftape modules, location changed from 2.2.x to 2.4.x kernels.
Hope this helps,
