X-Spam-Level:
Package: kernel
Version: 2.4.26-2
Severity: important
There are already packaged patches for ea and acl, and including them in the
debian patch is a duplication of effort that prevent users to use the
already-existing package.
I notice that someone asked for this in #229205, without any rationale, and
that this wish was applied, without any rationale recorded as well. This is
IMHO bad practice, and we should avoid this in the future.
In this particular case, _if_ we want to get acl+ea in our default kernels,
the best move I can see would be to make use of the existing patch package.
But I suppose that will cause problems because of the way
kernel-patch-debian is handled.
Basically, as I already suggested a long time ago, I think it would be much
better to have kernel-image packages build-depend on kernel-patch-debian.
Then we could make kernel-patch-debian depend on kernel-patch-acl if we want
it.

the acl patches for 2.4 will not be included in main kernel,
please update your 2.4 patches. if you have interests in them,
2.6 anyway supports this.
