I am currently doing a build of these on i386, and will make them available when they are ready, hopefully in the next few hours. One thing I am wondering is if it makes sense to make the kernel-package build dependancy as follows, as it would allow the package to be built on a vanilla sarge for non-powerpc arches. kernel-package (>= 8.135) [!powerpc] | kernel-package (>= 8.135.sarge1) [powerpc] N.B: I'm not sure if thats even legal, though it does seem to work.
