package: linux-kbuild-2.6
version: 2.6.30-1
severity: important
tags: security

hi,

the linux-kbuild-2.6 source package includes portions of code from the
linux-2.6 source package (i.e. everything in ./kbuild/*).  this is bad
in terms of security support because it causes more work for the
security team and increases the risk of errors, omissions, and mistakes.

less significant, but also important, is that since the kbuild package
is separated from the linux package, the kbuild packages always lag by
weeks or months after a new kernel release; making it impossible to
build modules for that new kernel.

the recommended course of action is to update the linux-2.6 source
package to also build the kbuild binaries.  thanks.

mike
