Bug#650975: r8168: does not belong in a stable release



Source: r8168
Severity: serious

(x-debbugs-cc to pmatthaei and debian-release)

Hi,

I've been blocking this package from entering testing, but as Patrick
Matthäi questions that choice I'm filing this bug for the record.

It is my opinion, as a member of the release team, that we shouldn't
ship this package in stable.

This driver duplicates functionality available in the r8169 module in
the standard linux kernel, which is going to create a support burden,
the ITP was NAKed by the kernel maintainers, and apparently you agreed
in <4EBFCF49.5070106@abeckmann.de> to not let this enter wheezy.

Cheers,
Julien
