If we're certain this is a kernel problem, then we should be able to count on the buildds running newer kernels once sarge is released, making security support possible; it just doesn't seem like anyone's missed these packages too terribly much if this is the first anyone's figured it out? At least illuminator definitely doesn't need to be built, since it doesn't matter for release now that the freeze is in effect. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
