Bug#306930: kernel-image-2.6.11-1-686-smp: tg3 dropped too silently

[duun <support@oeko.net>]

Package: kernel-image-2.6.11-1-686-smp
Severity: important



Hello,

the kernel-image-2.6.11-1-686-smp package doesn't advertise the removal
of tg3 in a suitable manner, esp. as Debian package search can't find
the kernel-nonfree that's listed in the Debian.src.changelog.gz file.

Specifically:
http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=kernel-nonfree&searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all

returns:

"Can't find that package."


Methinks a prominent warning at install time is more appropriate.

Thank you!

Best,
--Toni++
