I didn't add it in the first line because the team really is called the "Debian Kernel" team.
If we want to call the team as it calls itself, I'd suggest using the official capitalization ("Debian Kernel Team"), using quotes or using italics.
"3.2.y" is unclear. Just "3.2" will do."3.2.y" is strange, I'll agree, but it's the name of the git tree as mentioned in the postings... 3.2 would certainly be clearer if it's true, but I've been treading carefully.
Hum, I didn't know upstream used "3.2.y", and I don't know if that's an official name, but I think anyway it would be best to stay as simple as possible - as long as it's equally precise.
"the additional features of the Debian Linux kernel that will be shipped with the next Debian stable" is unclear. We should explain that wheezy will ship a modified version of Linux 3.2 with features not present in vanilla Linux 3.2.It doesn't need to explain *everything*, because after all it's pointing at a source that does that, but I suppose we could insert some extra hint in that direction. I'll try: [...] about the additional features not featured in mainline 3.2 that will be included in the Linux kernel to be shipped with the next Debian stable.
I agree. Great (except maybe "features not featured"? "features missing from" instead?).
Thank you
