2.6.8-16 in sarge; 2.6.8-15sarge1 for security?



hey,
  Sorry if this has already been discussed; but I noticed that although
2.6.8-16 is the latest version of kernel-source in sarge[1],
2.6.8-15sarge1 appears to be what is in the works[2] for a security
update.

All the patches referenced in -16 are already in svn for 2.6.8-15sarge1,
so looks like its not a regression problem.  The problems would be the
decreasing version string and missing 'Provides:
kernel-tree-2.6.8-16' (and the cosmetic issue of the missing changelog
snippet.)

  Just checking to make sure I'm not on crack; if not, I'll be happy to
relinearize things.
