AFAIUI this is not completely unintentional. Go talk to Matt Zimmerman (or any other of security people) if you care. > Of course I am. Aren't you asking the same question as often you > want? Because you haven't answered it in a satisfactory way, since you are still not providing a characterization of your userbase. Saying "the people who like FOO in a package" still doesn't say anything about those people's needs (or actual existence for that matter). Want to use precompiled modules? Install kernel-image-x.y.z-w-flavor and the modules you want. Want to depend on Debian provided kernels and track the current default? Install kernel-image-x.y-flavor. Want to have custom kernels available as Debian packages? Use make-kpkg. Want to use the good old make bzImage && make install? Go ahead. Who did I left out who's not being addressed by the current solution and is addressed by yours? Please show me that that set is larger than just you. -- Marcelo

Some people will appreciate them, and some not. You are duplicating effort by providing something that already exists.

Oh, then keep your packages in p.d.o/~rmh/whatever please. Because that's Debian hosting them. Which is what Herbert said, nothing more, nothing less. -- Marcelo
