I'm CCing debian-kernel since people intrested in kernel packaging
should be there.
I have the same problem for sourcerer-kernel-builder. I need to get a
list of all kernel-patch and kernel-module packages available and
figure out what the /usr/src/module/$MODULE dir will be named if that
package is to be used.
It would be good if the new debian-kernel team / ML could draft a
policy for kernel-patch and kernel-module packages on how to name the
source debs, how to name the dirs and how the finished binary debs
should be called. Same for kernel-image-arch and kernel-patch-arch
packages but they are pretty similar already.
I'm sure the security team would be happy if all kernel packages would
follow a common layout and could be audited or fixed all in the same
way.
So how about it. Volunteres to write a policy draft or a summary of
current practices which could then be refined?
