Package: mol-modules-2.6.8
Version: 1:0.9.70+2.6.8+12
Severity: serious

The current version of mol-modules-2.6.8 is uninstallable in unstable,
because it depends on kernel-image-2.6.8-powerpc (= 2.6.8-12) where the
current version in unstable is 2.6.8-16.  This strict dependency is a
serious problem, and contributed to not being able to get a security-fixed
powerpc kernel into testing in time for sarge.  The current dependency
handling is really quite unmaintainable, IMHO, and I don't believe etch
should release with mol-modules in its current condition.

This probably requires first fixing the powerpc kernel-image packages to
encode a module ABI version in the package name, as is currently being done
for most other architectures.
