Package: linux-modules-nonfree-2.6
Version: 2.6.18-2
Severity: normal

I've just discovered that kqemu-modules-2.6.18-3-k7 package available in
debian unstable has version 2.6.18+1.3.0~pre9-2, while module package
for kqumu created from kqemu-source using module-assistant has version
1.3.0~pre9-3+2.6.18-6.

This looks inconsistent and dangerous.

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-*.
