OK, you seem to make a subtle distinction between "fix" and "rewrite". >>> I asked you to send patches for linux-2.6, and you refused. >> >> Huh?

Please note: I never refused, never declined. Please retract. Maybe I "failed to deliver", but only because I was wilfully misled into thinking that such was not wanted. Will never again listen to Maks. :-) >>> I fixed this in the svn branch for lenny and it should be in the next >>> stable update. >> >> Thanks.

Wow, I was not aware of that. But then... Bug#568823 had been "pending" (I think is now "done"): does that mean that I can expect to see kernel-package_12.033 in lenny, in the near future? (Surely not, surely "commit" has meanings unrelated to "to be in next stable update".)
