Bug#4758: dosemu not packaged right

[rdm@tad.micro.umn.edu]

Package: dosemu
Version: 0.64.0.2-4

The current series of dosemu releases uses non-exported kernel internals.

Thus, it must be recompiled for each new kernel.

[I have to recompile dosemu everytime I go to a new kernel version,
it may be that differently configured kernels would require separately
compiled dosemu's.]

At a minimum, dosemu should require an exact match on kernel version.
Probably, a dosemu .deb should include the dosemu source and a wrapper
to build+install dosemu for each kernel version (e.g. put the binary
in /lib/modules/$VERSION/bin and have /usr/bin/dos be a shell
script -- you can get kernel version from /proc).  [If you do this, make
sure to have a postrm that rm -f /lib/modules/*/bin/dos].
