Description: tool to make module package creation easier
 The module-assistant tool helps users and maintainers with managing external
 kernel modules packaged for Debian. It can do:

 * automated preparation of build environment for modules compilation (eg.
   automatical detection and installation of required kernel source/headers)
 * automated module source downloads
 * configuring and keeping track of external and localy built modules packages
 * semi-automated multiple builds for multiple kernel versions

 It also contains some framework to be used by the build-scripts in the
 accompanying modules-source packages in Debian.
