Where's this coming from? linux-kernel-di-m68k has used 2.4.26 for d-i 
since May. Hmmm, -58 is still in the archive for some reason and -59 had 
the 2.4.26 kernels. But 2.4.26 is what's in the dailies.

The updated atari kernel fixes a boot problem on some atari machines.
It's literally like a one line patch from the previous version. It'd be 
nice for that to make it into sarge, but not relevant here.

You're not by chance confusing 2.2.25?

We're not even current building vme, since wouter is the only person who
seems to be trying to use it and it doesn't fully work yet. That and it 
requires root to build. Maybe in a point release.
