I didn't mean to imply that it was that important, but according to that README (see "Debian's libc6 method"), it looks like that should've been changed beginning with kernel-[headers,source]-2.0.32 . That seems like such a minor issue to upload all four kernel-[headers,source]-2.0.[32,33]. I think I'll set the hold in dselect.
I'd read that README previously, but didn't find it consistent. Now it makes sense. Thanks.
There is still one outstanding issue: dselect won't live up to the depend in libc6-dev and allow kernel-headers-2.0.32 to be uninstalled if kernel-headers-2.0.33 is installed. Why is that?
