So far as I can see, the original purpose of the existing linux- headers-*-all packages was to support source packages that build binary packages of modules for all flavours, for inclusion in the archive. Since the removal of nvidia-graphics-modules, we no longer have any such source packages and I don't know what these metapackages would be useful for. In any case, such a source package would often need to be updated for API changes in the kernel, so I wouldn't expect a binNMU with an updated linux-headers-all metapackage to work. Do you remember how you intended to use this metapackage? Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Sturgeon's Law: Ninety percent of everything is crap.
