Yes, I made a package for the loop-aes kernel module (and others, like
orinoco in the recent release), because the module/kernel packaging
system of debian looks kind of crazy to me.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I see no
problem with this. Why would a repack of loop-aes require a kernel
module from a DIFFERENT package to be included? Does not make sense to
me. Maybe this is a bug in dpkg-repack, or you need an additional
option?

Looks like the package has been successfully built anyways. So, what is
the problem?
