Bug#568317: Processed: cloning 568317, reassign -1 to kernel-package

OK, you seem to make a subtle distinction between "fix" and "rewrite".

Please note: I never refused, never declined. Please retract.
Maybe I "failed to deliver", but only because I was wilfully misled into
thinking that such was not wanted. Will never again listen to Maks. :-)

Wow, I was not aware of that. But then... Bug#568823 had been "pending"
(I think is now "done"): does that mean that I can expect to see
kernel-package_12.033 in lenny, in the near future? (Surely not, surely
"commit" has meanings unrelated to "to be in next stable update".)
Cheers, Paul
