We need another upload of linux-2.6 and linux-modules-extra-2.6 to fix
the following issues:
linux-2.6:
- Some small security fixes.
- Fix for internal posix types support for s390.
- Conflict with too old initramfs generators, the fallback entry matches
  them also.
- Don't longer disable serial drivers in xen images.
linux-modules-extra-2.6:
- Disable squashfs on arm, does not work.

I'm not longer interrested in communicating errors in software, which is
not able to catch errors but reports silent success instead. This is the
fourth bug with this result in the last 6 months or so.
