Is the only problem with the lenny 2.6.26 that it has CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED enabled? Or are there other problems?AFAIK that is the only problem.
Where would be the correct place to change this? I'm assuming this would be somewhere in the debian directory. Grepping for CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED gives me a few hits, but only the first looks relevant.
Do I change CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 in debian/config/config, or add a patch, or something else?
I notice there are other config files in subdirectories, presumably arranged in a reverse heirarchy.
