Im trying to understand a few things relating to packaging... take the kernel for example
I just did a fresh install of potato, and then installed my own kernel image built by kernel-package, dselect lists my custom kernel as being the only kernel-image installed, i cant see any reference to the original kernel image. Shouldnt both be the original kernel and my custom kernel be listed as being installed? According to my understanding from the policy manual the functionality provided by the virtual package kernel-image, which in my case is supplied by both the original and custom kernel should be both required and Essential... I cant find any details on the virtual package kernel-image except its name, do virtual packages have priorities and can they be marked essential ? Glenn
