Package: Release Notes for Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 (`sarge')
The following information/patch is desirable under 5.2 Upgrading to a
2.6 kernel:
If for any reason you are using software that refers to /usr/src/linux,
note that is likely to contain out of date files or links to the
previous version of the kernel after upgrading. Normally Debian
packages do not use /usr/src/linux. If it is still needed you can
probably delete the old folder (or rename it to, e.g. /usr/src/oldlinux
just for safety) and then replace it with a symlink to the new kernel
source, e.g.
cd /usr/src/
ln -s kernel-source-2.6.8 linux

There is nothing in Debian that creates the /usr/src/linux link. This=20
means that if users have been using that with their old kernel, they have=20
created it themselves and so should know how to fix any problems.
Recompiling modules that are not in the Debian kernel is outside the scope=
=20
of the Release Notes anyway.
IMO this does not belong in the Release Notes, therefore closing your bug=20
report.
Cheers,
=46JP
P.S. Next time you file a bug report, please make sure you use a valid=20
package name or pseudo-package. For this bug the correct name would have=20
been "release-notes", not "Release Notes for Debian GNU/Linux 3.1=20
(`sarge')".
