Ok, this is the linux-modules-extra-2.6 problem, which should be solved by
removing the module which is broken. not sure which one it was.
The -k7 issue, i don't know, can it be a flavour that was dropped or something ?

Bah, we where told this for sarge, and it took over a year back then. I don't
see us releaseing etch anytime soon, since we don't have had a single release
candidate of d-i with the 2.6.18 kernels in it yet, so moving 2.6.19 to
unstable (maybe with a linux-2.6.19 source package) should be nice enough. We
did this already for 2.6.16, so, we know how to do this.
