I am not sure how to test it extensively without moving it to testing. But OTOH testing currently has packages which are not installable with Woody's debootstrap so it would require a separated build. > I second.

Stable has 3.0.23 binary build, but the source of 3.0.22 since 3.0.23 was excluded because of RC bugs. > > Remaining issues (maybe, please comment, please add your own) : > > > > - update modconf > > (http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2002/debian-boot-200208/msg00475.html) > > I'll do an upload in the near future.

What do you think Eduard? I passed the kernel package to jaqque, ask him. IMHO the issue may not be very important. AFAIK no exploit is known since the issue has been reported. > I think we're waiting for the problem to be fixed by the kernel > maintainer.
