I now tried that (not with apt-get but manually). I guess I needed the files: .../pool/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-2.6_2.6.26.orig.tar.gz .../pool/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-2.6_2.6.26-21.diff.gz (please confirm, or tell me what I messed up). After unpacking those, I find (essentially in the diff file) the .../linux-2.6-2.6.26/debian/templates/temp.image.plain/ directory. However, to my surprise, those files are older than those from the kernel-package directory, for example: diff -r /usr/share/kernel-package/pkg/image/postinst linux-2.6-2.6.26/debian/templates/temp.image.plain/postinst 8,10c8,10 < # Last Modified On : Wed Oct 8 00:03:41 2008 < # Last Machine Used: anzu.internal.golden-gryphon.com < # Update Count : 360 --- > # Last Modified On : Fri Sep 29 10:08:18 2006 > # Last Machine Used: glaurung.internal.golden-gryphon.com > # Update Count : 357 ... Does that mean that kernel-package is in fact newer, and you should "import" again then use my patches (sent previously)? ----- Should this bug somehow be "given" to kernel-package also (clone and reassign?): would you be able to do that? ----- >> BTW... lenny 5.0.4, with 2.6.26-21, was announced some time ago, but >> still >> >> http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=linux-2.6&searchon=sourcenames&suite=stable§ion=all >> http://packages.debian.org/source/lenny/linux-2.6 >> show 2.6.26-19lenny2 : is that a problem? > > That is strange. Perhaps you should report a bug against www.debian.org. Would you be able to do that? (I guess should not use reportbug for that, am not sure how.)
