Yeh, I know about that. But the version of the Debian packages doesnt
show this, and the description only mentions 2.6.8. So thats what I went
on. It would be more confusing if the release notes do not match the
version claimed to be packaged. (So maybe the kernel maintainers should
fix that.)

Thats good. I expect most distros shippin 2.6.8 will apply that.
