Thanks Frans for pointing out this bug, which is exactly the same we already
had some discussion a few weeks ago when it was discovered in the powerpc
packages, and where i was flammed by you and Manoj. Another occasion where you
do exactly the things you are continuously reproaching me. I hope you remember
that next time you want to write some bashing of me in bug reports.

This bug is closed by the new kernel-package version, and linux-2.6 only needs
to be rebuilt with it, which is scheduled for -4, and amply discussed here
previously.

Friendly,

Sven Luther
