Bug#400825: linux-support-2.6.18-2: Absolutely no information on the purpose of this package
Package: linux-support-2.6.18-2
Severity: minor
-- System Information:
Debian Release: 3.1
Architecture: i386 (i686)
Kernel: Linux 2.6.15
Locale: LANG=de_DE@euro, LC_CTYPE=de_DE@euro (charmap=ISO-8859-15)
Versions of packages linux-support-2.6.18-2 depends on:
ii python2.4 2.4.1-2sarge1 An interactive high-level object-o
As I compiled a 2.6.18 kernel, I found this new packet linux-support. The packet
description says only "This package provides support files for the Linux kernel
build."
But I couldn't find any useful information about what kind of support for the
kernel build this package provides. There's also no information in the
/usr/share/doc section about the purpose or the use of the packet.
I know that I don't need this package and it's not essential for building my
kernel, but I think, there should be a more expressive packet description, so
that a user can decide if it's useful for him or not.
And information about the usage would also be great.
Greetings
Jens
