Package: kernel-package
Version: 10.064
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Found a few typos in '/usr/share/man/man5/kernel-pkg.conf.5.gz', see attached 
'.diff'.

Note: the text around "theversion" may need revision:

    % man kernel-pkg.conf | grep -n -C 1 theversion
    43-       debian The  version  of the kernel packages, includes both the 
upstream
    44:              Set to YES, this causes a make clean to be run in 
theversion and
    45-              the  Debian revision. Can be overridden by the environment 
vari-

For example, it's not clear what "includes both the upstream Set to YES"
means.  I'm guessing some punctuation was left out.


Hope this helps...
