Package: linux-modules-contrib-2.6
Severity: wishlist

While the Version: field of module packages built from
linux-modules-contrib-2.6 does contain the original version, this is not
very clear. It would be useful if the Description:  contains a line
stating the upstream version.

After consulting with Daniel Baumann <daniel@debian.org>, it appears
that it's unnecessary for linux-modules-* to add an epoch or change
its versioning scheme. modules-assistant still requires fixing, by
adding an epoch to all modules it creates, and reversing the version
number to match linux-modules-*'s scheme, however no coordination with
linux-modules-* is necesary.

I am closing the bugs againt linux-modules-*.
