Yeah, but it is a kernel-package issue, and Manoj made some haughty comment
when i re-assigned it to kernel-package, that he was glad that he didn't see
already closed bugs.
Manoj is blacklisting me anyway, so it would be useful for someone else (you
maybe), to follow up on bugs like this one, maybe he does also ignore the bug
just because i am affected by it, or something else so unproffesional. I
already pinged him twice on irc about this, and redirected the bug to
kernel-package.
Friendly,
