Changes: 
 kernel-package (8.102) unstable; urgency=high
 .
   * Bug fix: "make-kpkg: fails to unpatch the source", thanks to martin f
     krafft. This was due to recent idiocy in upstream kernel sources,
     where the kernel now assumes responsibility of ./debian directory
     (despite Debian having used this directory for years). The people in
     charge of this code in upstream kernel were not competent enough to
     implement the deb target  in a fashion that it does not break a
     facility that Debian has used for years.  Well, all the kernel-patch
     packages are affected; since nothing shall unpatch correctly with
     2.6.8.1+ kerel versions. It also makes life a pain for official kernel
     image developers, since their ./debian is a dorectory that is not
     recreated by kernel-package (or the broken upstream code); and at
     least one developer has lost an uncheked in  custom ./debian dir
 .
     It is not as if they needed to claim ./debian, since they do not use
     dpkg, and a fix was discussed in August, but no one has seen fit to
     implement that fix and solve this breakage -- so now kerel-package
     works around this idiocy. This makes this update very urgent.
 .
     The generated .debs also do not pay attention to kernel-img.conf (thus
     creating a surprise for unsuspecting end users), they do not massage
     the build and source symlinks, do not run boot loaders, do not handle
     bootloaders that may use initrd in their config, and probably would
     end up generating a slew of bugs that can't be fixed in Debian.
 .
                                                          (Closes: #270169).
   * Bug fix: "make-kpkg doesn't handle CONFIG_LOCALVERSION", thanks to
     Michal Ä?ihaÅ?. The only implementation for LOCALVERSION I saw (in
     linux-2.6.9-rc3/Makefile), is a broken Makefile
     snippet. kernel-package now tries to implement what the documentation
     and comment say should be done                       (Closes: #273147).
   * Added support for hook directories. Apart from hook variables that the
     local admin may set, there are a set of directories where packages, or
     the local admin, may drop in script files. The directories are
       - /etc/kernel/preinst.d/,
       - /etc/kernel/postinst.d/,
       - /etc/kernel/prerm.d/, and
       - /etc/kernel/postrm.d/.
     If they exists, the kernel-image package shall run a run-parts program
     over the directory, giving the version being installed or removed as
     an argument, in the corresponding phase of installation or
     removal. Since these directories do not exist by default, this should
     have no impact on current installations.
