"make build_all" doesn't get around this issue any more. Also, changing udeb sources doesn't work anymore, "USE_UDEBS_FROM=unstable make build_netboot". I've ended up having to implement a couple different ugly workarounds to keep my testing snapshot builds going while various things change. I've had enough frustration dealing with those that I've decided to come up with a "real" solution. The core issue is that KERNELIMAGEVERSION is a hardcoded value in the arch config files, so its currently stuck at squeeze's version. Thus, the solution is simply to parse that value from known package info instead. Attached is a patch that does that for review/feedback. Best wishes, Mike
