packaging for module-assistant

[Gémes Géza <geza@kzsdabas.sulinet.hu>]

Hi,

I try to build up a patch for redhat-cluster source package in order to
make the redhat-cluster-source package buildable by module-assistant, I
used some parts of the redhat-cluster-suite packaging and almost
successful, but at the last part of the module-assistant build process I
get (I'm trying to build it on a 2.6.16-xen-686 system, apparently
recognized by the build system):

rm -rf debian/redhat-cluster-source-2.6.16-1-xen-686/usr

It seems, that while on the first (pasted) line KVERS get replaced by
the actual kernel version later module-assistant complains about _KVERS_
I attached the relevant files from the debian subdir of the
redhat-cluster-source package.

Thanks for enlightening me.
