Outdated kernel packages in testing/unstable



Hello,

You are receiving this message because you are the maintainer of one or
more architecture-specific kernel packages that appear to be superseded
by newer kernel versions already available in the archive.

As shown in the thread beginning at
<http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2004/debian-devel-200404/msg01623.html>,
the Security Team has significant concerns about the number of kernel
packages currently in sarge, and their ability to support those
packages with security updates.  There are a number of kernel packages
which are obvious candidates for immediate removal from unstable:

 kernel-image-2.2.25-amiga
 kernel-image-2.4.17-s390
 kernel-image-2.4.19-arm
 kernel-image-2.4.21-s390
 kernel-image-2.4.24-amiga

Each of these packages has an analogue in testing from a more recent 2.4
series kernel.  If I hear no objections, I will file bugs against
ftp.debian.org on Tuesday (27 Apr) requesting these packages' removal
from the archive.

If you opt to file a removal request directly, please let me know so we
can avoid duplication of effort.

Thanks,
