FWIW, this kernel varient (kernel-image-speakup-i386) also currently
FTBFS and has dozens of unfixed security bugs (which are fixed in the
general Debian kernel source it builds from), so it's looking quite
likely to be removed if these RC bugs arn't addressed sometime. Fixing
it is probably pretty easy, it just needs to use an older gcc for
building.
