Package: debian-policy Severity: normal I think we should have policy for module source packages that specifies how such a package should look like. There are several ways to build a kernel module from a source file and some (at least the inclusion in linux-modules-extra/contrib/non-free) are not easily tryable by the maintainer of the source package.
The current policy in linux-modules-* is: A module source package works with l-m-e, or it doesn't. So I gather it's the source maintainer's job to make sure it compiles inside the framework. But there is no documentation available about linux-modules-* at all. The process might change again in the future which might make the situation even more complex. Therefore I think there should be some (sub) policy explaining what to do.
