dh_installinit and dh_installkpatches questions.

Hi, I am packaging mosix, which is a cluster computing tool which does fault tolerance, load balancing and process migration. It comes as 2 kernel patches. One is a standard kernel patch which I handle with dh_installkpatches. The other is a tar file, which has to be untarred in /usr/src/linux.

What to do about old package left over from move to non-US?

Hi all. I have moved my package althea to non-US because it now supports SSL. The old package, version 0.4.4a, is still in main.
