Package: fglrx-kernel-src
Version: 8.28.8-0.1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

The package uses gcc to build the module kernel. The latest version of
gcc in testing is 4.1, but the package needs that gcc be a link to gcc-4.0.
Otherwise the module builds sucessfully, but it is incompatible with the 
prebuilts Debian kernels (at least with 2.6.16-2, the latest version in 
testing) and shows this in log file:

[...]

Could the package verify that?

Thanks.

P.S.: For users that would can read this:
If you know what you are doing, do this:
#rm /usr/bin/gcc
#ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 gcc

Now is time to build the module like you can read in README file.

Undo the above:
#rm /usr/bin/gcc
#ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.1 gcc
