Package: linux-2.6 Version: 2.6.14-6 Severity: grave kernel-package 10.0xx does call db_stop before calling the /etc/kernel/*.d snipplets, which means all debconf using snipplets will be broken, and hang forever for a response from debconf which will never come. mkvmlinuz is among those using debconf in a /etc/kernel/*.d snipplet, and as the powerpc kernel depends on it, the result is that the powerpc kernel will not only be uninstallable, leave the dpkg-database in a unclean state, and wait-forever during installation thus playing hell with automated upgrades or whatever.
I guess this means a new 2.6.14-7 upload quickly as soon as k-p gets fixed, but it would be nice if new k-p upgrades where tested more thoroughly before being inflicted unto the unsuspecting masses.
