Bug#258043: kernel-patch-debian-2.6.7: doesn't list which patches are incorporated: kernel-patch-debian-2.6.7, kernel-image-2.6.7: doesn't list which patches are incorporated

it may be small for 2.6.7, but it was a general remark. Like the 2.4
kernels may be containing freeswan or KAME IPsec or Vserver or SKAS or
whatever. That could very well fit in some small gzip patch, yet the
outcome would matter allot (when intending to use vserver and not having
the patch, that would suck, right?).

Luther: yes, a full list in the Description may be overkill. Therefore i
proposed that pointing to an URL would be more likely to help. Then
(even if the pointer is to CVS or SVN) one could check the full list
before installing.
