tag 290329 + patch
thanks
Here is an idea:
(1) Revert the problem debian/rules change.
(2) Modify mkinitrd to set the default MODULES to dep or most based on
output of "dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH"
(3) Comment out the MODLES= line in the config file and leavi it as an
example.
This is an UNTESTED patch to describe the fix better than the above
narative!
