Hi Christian,

As I already acked you doing this, you're welcome to push it in
directly without going via DELAYED if you like.

I would query why you felt the need to make this depend on dh>=7
though?  This package doesn't depend on any debhelper features
later than what it already declared, so this only makes it harder
for people who might want to backport it than it otherwise needs
to be, and for no real gain at all...

Since we're probably going to nuke this one before long, I'm not
overly fussed about it in this case, but as a general rule I'd
consider this an undesirable change for any package of mine that
doesn't need it, and doesn't gain any benefit from it.  Do you
have some reason to think otherwise?

In any case, I suspect this assumption is wrong:

This package makes a package from itself.  So I suspect you've just
introduced a bug in the generated kernel module package, which won't
have this set in any place, now that you've removed the one place
where it was and the rationale explaining that ;)

I'm sorry if that wasn't as obvious as it could have been from the
package source, but I think that is also why we have the rationale
of only making the minimum of necessary changes in NMU uploads ;P

I do appreciate your help, and that you were only trying to, but
I suspect you've outsmarted yourself on this one and might like to
take another look at whether the package is still functional with
these changes to it.  I have my doubts the generated kernel package
will build correctly with debhelper compat v1 that it would appear
at first blush you've now left it with.
