gcc 2.95 will still be on your system.

It just won't be the default gcc any longer.

So, you can still compile kernels with it, though I agree that there
might be some problems if everything insists on calling gcc. Hmm. Does
anyone know if it is currently possible to configure what version of
gcc to use with kernel-package?
BTW, I don't see any kernel compilation Debian bugs reported for
gcc. If you have a problem, report it and perhaps someone will fix
it. They can't fix it if they don't know it exists.
Faheem.
