I will probably include those fixes in the debian 2.6.4 powerpc patch i
plan to upload this week. That said, the latest -benh checkin i saw was
dated feburary 20, so ...

module-init-tools will diver the modutils stuff. I guess you can remove
modutils completely though, is that exact ?

Notice that the use of standalone drm modules, either from Michel's
packages or from the XFree86 packages has been deprecated, and the
packages in the kernel sources should be used now. These are usually
uptodate though, so ...

kernel-headers-2.6.4-1 - Header files related to Linux kernel version 2.6.4
This is the x86 package, for the powerpc package, you will have to wait
for me to build them. I will upload them this week, but they will be in
the NEW queue for some time, so i will upload them to my
people.debian.org account, as usual.
