Bug#574564: firmware-linux-free: non pertinent NEWS file
Package: firmware-linux-free
Version: 2.6.32-10
Severity: normal
The NEWS file about the hd -> scsi migration is included in all binary packages
of linux-2.6. This is problematic because, for example, the message is
displayed by apt-listchanges when firmware-linux-free is upgraded (and not at
all useful in this case). But then, it is not displayed anymore by
apt-listchanges when linux-image-2.6.32-4-amd64 or linux-base are installed.
It would be better if this NEWS file wes only present in the binary package
that contains the upgrade script (linux-base it seems).
Regards
Vincent
