They are replacements for those packages. The names have been changed to be consistent with the naming of other kernels (e.g. hurd and Freebsd) that are likely to be added to Debain soon. Adding a note to this affect to the long descriptions seems reasonable, can you provide a patch against the templates that are used to create the control files? They are in SVN at debian-kernel/svn-2.6/source/linux-2.6/debian/templates on svn.debian.org. And I have attached the latest versions for your convenience. Thanks -- Horms

To obtain a complete set of headers you also need to install the [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@-(flavour) package, matching the flavour of the kernel you intend the build for. To obtain such a set for the currently running kernel it is sufficient to run a command apt-get install [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@-$(uname -r) . and it will be unpacked in /usr/src/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@-(flavour).

Package: [EMAIL PROTECTED]@ Architecture: all Section: devel Priority: optional Depends: [EMAIL PROTECTED]@ (= @srcver@), @lt_depends@ Provides: @lt_provides@ Description: Linux kernel source tree for building Debian kernel images This meta package is used as a build dependency of Debian linux-image packages to prevent a version discrepancy between the linux-image and corresponding linux-sources packages in the fast-moving unstable archive. The package's dependency relations are structured so that a linux-image package's build dependencies can always be satisfied, even if the linux-source package that had been used to compile the image has been superseeded by a newer Debian revision since the last build. . The package provides a list of virtual packages, corresponding to Debian revisions of a linux-source package. The Debian linux-patch contains the information needed to roll back the current linux-source to any of the revisions identified by the provided virtual packages. Therefore, the linux-tree package ensures the availability of the Linux kernel source tree corresponding to each of the virtual packages listed. . The package serves no purpose outside of the Debian build and archive infrastructure.
