I suppose it's possible, but I haven't managed to get make-kpkg work in years, and I don't have any plans to investigate it any further. So while I'd certainly be happy if someone else figures this out and sends a patch, it's not something that I know how to fix with the information I have available. > Should I further investigate this problem(and eventually help fixing it > for wheezy), It's probably too late to fix anything like this for wheezy, since this isn't release-critical.

I recommend switching to DKMS. Failing that, module-assistant seems to be better-maintained than make-kpkg at this point. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
