Yeah, that seems to be it, also see <https://lwn.net/Articles/614057/>. So not a dpkg bug, but I guess this will need to be fixed in the linux 3.16 packages in unstable first, before it can be pulled into a backport. Kernel team, as I'm not sure if this is fixed in sid already, I've not reassigned, do you know off-hand? Should I reassign?
