I noticed that the 'versatile' kernel flavour for armel doesn't work any more. Starting with Linux 4.5, CONFIG_ARCH_VERSATILE depends on CONFIG_ARCH_MULTI_V5, but we didn't enable the latter. The 'versatile' kernel flavour is being built for ARMv7 but without support for any particular platform, so it doesn't run on anything. Since this has been broken in unstable for over 6 months and I don't see any bug reports about it, I suspect that this flavour is not actually needed any more. So far as I know, it was mostly useful for running an armel system on QEMU, but it is now preferable to use one of the 'vexpress' or 'virt' machines and the 'armmp' kernel flavour. Unless I hear a good reason to keep this flavour, I intend to remove it before Linux 4.9 goes into unstable.
