First up I'd like to applogise for the confusion and multiple bug reports surrounding this. The simple truth is that the legacy of the Sarge-era kernel packaging has left us with a mess, that we are trying to sift through and slowly clean up. Its turning out to be quite complicated, and thats not something that you should have been asked to worry about. I suggest that we just track this as 323183, rather than mucking around with opening and merging existing bugs. Please let me know if you would prefer a different approach. I've just spent a bit of time looking through this and here is a summary of where I beleive we are, others, please comment if this is inaccurate or incomplete. If there are ammendments I'll try and correlate them into an updated list.
