hi eduard,

it would be really nice if m-a provided some way to detect when a new
kernel has been installed (or is running), build the installed
module-source packages into debs, and install them.  a couple ways i
could think of doing this:

- - an init script (similar to dell's dklm system) that detects that
  modules have not been built for the running kernel

- - a hook in the kernel package images that runs m-a when new kernels
  are installed

i personally like the first idea better than the second, as it's more
generic, and will work with non debianized kernels.  you could also do
it during the bootup sequence before x/network/foo started, ensuring
as little disruption as possible.

what do you think?
