The merge thing doesn't work well with the way we
have multiple source packages for the kernel. 

It seems that this problem actually effects the following
source packages.

kernel-image-2.6.10-alpha-2.6.10
kernel-image-2.6.10-ia64-2.6.10
kernel-image-2.6.9-amd64-2.6.9
kernel-image-2.6.9-ia64-2.6.9
kernel-image-2.6.9-sparc-2.6.9
kernel-patch-2.6.10-mips-2.6.10
kernel-patch-powerpc-2.6.10-2.6.10
kernel-patch-powerpc-2.6.9-2.6.9

Would it be of value to duplicate, say #283852,
assign one copy to each of these source packages,
and then merge #283852 with #284952 on one package,
say kernel-patch-powerpc-2.6.9-2.6.9, where
at one of the bugs originated.

Also, sould I go through and fix the config
in svn, even though I can't build for any of these
architectures?
