Maybe the modules situation is even worse, as rebuilding the kernel may or may not break some of them. Is it possible to reliably guarantee the binary-compatibility of a newer (patched) kernel-image with modules built against the previous one ? Using explicit dependencies for the compiler, for example. Otherwise, maybe it would be better to include *all* extra modules we want to build in the kernel build process, and just provide them in separate packages, as we already do for pcmcia-modules. This would make these modules more difficult to maintain in sid, but it would vastly improve the maintainability of the kernel itself. -- .''`.
