Yeah, ok, a quick reality check here. The mol maintainer died tragically in
july, leaving the package all but abandoned, i did jump in because nobody else
did and because mol was blocking the 2.6.12 kernel transition, and because i
used to work with Jens on the 2.6 powerpc kernel packages. I don't use mol and
am not interested in being the sole maintainer of it, except to make it build
with newer kernel packages, and did write so when i announced the mol 2.6.12
packages here, so read the mailing list archive.
The alternative being naturally to kick mol from the archive, or at least the
mol-modules, so they don't interfer with the kernel packages, as mol seems
abandoned upstream and there is no real interest in doing real maintainership
of them for debian, altough Otavio proposed himself.
