reassign 535166 linux-2.6
thanks

Hi,

        No, erassigning this to kernel-package is wrong, in two ways:
 1. Nothing in kernel-package has to do with booting. If the kernel
    image fails to boot, it is an issue witht he kernel image itself,
    not the kernel image packaging.

        I repeat: nothing from the kernel image has anything to do with
 problem while booting. So, even f this kernel image had used make-kpkg,
 this would not have been a kernel-package issue.

 2. Secondly, the official kernel images have nothing to do with
    kernel-package either. They use their own home brewed scripts now. 

        Reassigning to linux-2.6, which ought to be the right palce.

        Thanks
