Bug#467291: ide-scsi module not compiled into production kernel 2.6.18-6-686

[Tony van der Hoff <tony@vanderhoff.org>]

Package: kernel
Severity: important

The ide-scsi module is not compiled into the production kernel. Whilst Linus
may deprecate it for CD-burning, it is absolutely essential for IDE tape
drives, because ide-tape is flaky, and has been unmaintained for years
(Primarily bug 327355 appears to have remained unresolved, but there are
other problems).

Please make this module avalable in future kernels.
