Freeze exception: kfreebsd-7 and kfreebsd-8

[Aurelien Jarno <aurelien@aurel32.net>]

Hi,

We uploaded kfreebsd 8.1 before the freeze, but it is now blocked into
unstable as we had to do some more upload after the freeze. The new 
version of kfreebsd 7 and kfreebsd-8 especially add the hooks defined
by the "Policy for Linux kernel, initramfs, boot loader update process",
which is essential to get the kernel add to grub.

Would it be possible to unblock kfreebsd-7 and kfreebsd-8 ?

Thanks,
Aurelien
