--- Begin Message ---Package: linux-2.6 Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream Hello, I was not sure where to send this patch, better here to Debian community for review. I found a bit annoying that using upstream deb-pkg target does not allow me to create proper Debian packages when cross compiling, so I have created the following patch which attempts to address this issue.
