Hi, I am not particular concerned with the kernel. Due the to check you mentioned yourself, you have to manually approve of removing the running kernel. If the user removes the running kernel, it is not like purging it will make it much worse. That said, we could move this to a "pre-upgrade" text. From my point of view, the primary idea with this, is to ensure that people do not have old broken init.d scripts lying around on the system (that breaks the boot). ~Niels -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
