You are right that the packages may be obsolete in the near future, but I
think they will be very useful for Debian users. Especially since you can't
find RAID patches for 2.2.14 from ftp.kernel.org (the main distribution
channel for RAID software) but have to get them from the authors homepage
(www.redhat.com/~mingo/), which has made many users think that they have to
use older kernels.

Wouldn't all kernel related packages in woody be kind of pointless by this
criteria ?

Could someone else in the kernel-image group maintain the package ? I was
planning on using the options that are used on kernel-image-2.2.14.
