I let them raw, so Christoph knew where to add the commends and
patchname. Actually i believe i could have scripted the patchname
thingy, and the comment could be found just before the patch anyway.

Thanks Jens for taking a care at this, and to Christoph for doing the
patch splitting and commenting part.

BTW, Jens, what about the powerpc package ? Matthias Klose mailed me
yesterday about a tentative biarch gcc compiler, and i will try today or
later at linuxtag, to build a 64bit kernel for G4. If this works out
well, we should consider building non-official or experimental kernels
using the 64bit biarch compilers, and speed up the merging back of the
biarch stuff into the unstable package.

Friendly,
