Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

The FTP team insisted that linux-modules-{extra,contrib}-2.6 must be
replaced (bug #517130) and the kernel team has agreed to do so.  We
recommend that module packagers use DKMS for auto-building in future.

Although linux-modules-nonfree-2.6 does not have the same licence
compliance issue, it is prone to breaking as vendors fail to update
their proprietary drivers for new kernel versions, and the kernel team
has no ability or interest in dealing with this.  Therefore we
recommend that proprietary module packagers also use DKMS.
