Excuse me?
Last I looked, I was in a far better position to judge what should and
shouldn't be. Don't see you in LDAP, nor in NM... Perhaps you should sod off
and keep your arm chair commentary to a minimum.
Where did I leave that surgical clue by four...
If you had actually _looked_ before you opened your dumb mouth, you'd
notice the difference between a source and binary package, and see that
all kernel-latest-2.6 provides is transition packages. To make you
look even more stupid, why don't you take a look in the archive?
http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=kernel-latest&searchon=sourcenames&subword=1&version=all&release=all
What's this? Other architectures doing the same thing? Better clue all them
in too!
Lots of love,
Kyle M.
