Package: kernel-package Version: 12.036+nmu1 Severity: minor
The documentation for kernel-package (/usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz) suggests the use of "--revision=custom.1.0" but this does not conform to Debian policy: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Version As this is now enforced by dpkg, following the instructions for kernel-package now yields the error: dpkg-query: warning: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 19528 package 'linux-image-2.6.38': error in Version string 'custom.1.2': version number does not start with digit Please update the documentation to kernel-package to be coherent with dpkg and Debian policy. Thank you.
