Bug#403171: linux-image-2.6.18-3-686: Please update yaird Depends version to >= 0.0.12-15

Package: linux-image-2.6.18-3-686
Version: 2.6.18-8
Severity: important


Configuring linux-image-2.6.18-3-686 with yaird 0.0.12-14 fails (“bad
value in /boot/config-2.6.18-3-686:
CONFIG_DEFCONFIG_LIST="/lib/modules/$UNAME_RELEASE/.config"”), whereas
0.0.12-18 succeeds.  (See partial transcript below.)

Looking at yaird's changelog.Debian.gz, I see that 0.0.12-15 includes a
change to “[e]xtend patch 1002 to allow "$" in KConfig regex (as
introduced in 2.6.17-rc1-mm3).”

I conclude that the "...$UNAME_RELEASE..." value in
/boot/config-2.6.18-3-686 requires a yaird of version 0.0.12-15 or
greater.

Please accordingly change linux-image-2.6.18-3-686's Depends line from 
‘yaird (>= 0.0.12-8)’ to ‘yaird (>= 0.0.12-15)’.

Thanks,

pjrm.
