Thanks, hopefully we can get to the bottom of this sooner rather
than later

Matt Zimmerman, the maintainer, has indicated that he is not
interested in updating uml to 2.6, which in his oppinion 
is the only way forward. I guess the package should be orphaned
or removed from the archive. But in any case it seems that
it shouldn't block the removal of kernel-source-2.4.26.
I have CCed Matt so he can clarify this.

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=323183;msg=25

With regards to pcmcia-modules-2.4.26-i386. 
I notice that pcmcia-modules-2.4.27-i386 exists and presumably works.
I've CCed the maintainer, Per Olofsson for comment.

amd64 still doesn't seem to exist for linux-2.6, I'm not sure why,
perhaps I am just blind or looking in the wrong place

http://ftp2.jp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/

However, once it is uploaded, it will have binary packages with
the same names as those previously produced by the
kernel-latest-2.6-amd64 source package. Does this mean that
kernel-latest-2.6-amd64 will automatically be removed, or automatically
flagged for removal?

I'll wait for some feedback from Matt and Per and do just that.
Could you clarify the sistuation with regards to kernel-latest-2.6-amd64
being removed once linux-2.6 for amd64 is uploaded.

Thanks
