Package: gradm2

Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
This package is apparently meant to be used with
linux-patch-grsecurity2, which I'm not sure if it is actively
maintained. However, a full grsec kernel has recently landed in unstable
as 'linux-grsec-base'. And many users might be running kernels patched
with Grsecurity that they built themselves on Debian.
Currently, those users need to download the gradm sources from
grsecurity.net, which also depend on flex and bison, and compile it
on their own.
The main issue is that gradm2 is unusable due to the name of the device:
$ gradm2 -E
Could not open /dev/grsec2.
open: No such file or directory
Possible solutions would be to transition gradm2 to use /dev/grsec, or
if we could get another package 'gradm' with different configuration to
work with plain (non-patch-grsecurity2) kernels - see also bug #812239
for enabling RBAC - that would be good.
