Package: kernel-package
Version: 13.014+nmu1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainers,
kernel-package suggests docbook-utils that depends on jadetex that depends on
texlive-latex-base
in order to build some (actually the only one) .tex file included in the kernel
documentation,
but the current texlive cannot build the .tex file.
$ cd linux/Documentation/cdrom
$ ls
00-INDEX Makefile cdrom-standard.tex ide-cd packet-writing.txt
$ make
...
...
[15]
! Undefined control sequence.
l.1012 ...nel~2.0. Further thanks to Heiko Ei{\sz
}feldt,
?
The use of {\sz} in cdrom-standard.tex has existed since 2007, thus the current
texlive cannot build the documentation of any recent kernel versions since then.

without resolution.
If you can reproduce it with
- the current version in unstable/testing
- the latest kernel from backports
please reopen the bug, see https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control
for details.
