No, I've never tested the -source package myself, to be honest; I use dkms on my own systems instead of module-assistant. The -source package's packaging was contributed by David Kalnischkies (in #715398); I simply took his proposed patch as-is. So, in summary...patches welcome! :) Regards, Vincent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
