kernel-patch-2.4.27-apus should be kicked out of the archive, even from sarge
if possible, there is no reason it is still there, since the ones produced by
the -powerpc package obsolete it. I wonder why it didn't happen, either i
forgot to fill a bug against ftp.debian.org asking for its removal, or the
ftp-masters slept it over. It should have been removed in marsch/april or so.
