The actual update is to use 2.0.36 headers, to bring it into line with
the other architectures in slink. This allows hwclock to be
recompiled correctly, among other things. As it stands now, the
hwclock in stable fails on Amigas when built from source in a Debian
2.1r2 installation.
I don't know how to classify this change, but it seems to me that it's
important that the Debian system be as self-contained as possible.
