This will be solved in etch, or even as soon as sarge is out of the way, when we will have a single kernel-source package that will generate all binary kernel packages. This kernel-package could also build the binary .udeb modules, and all the d-i related kernel problems will vanish in one go. I believe the kernel team to be commited and well working (and full of loving relationships or whatever :), to handle this well. > and the problems in getting people to make all the necessary fixes?

And we are proud of the quality of our X packages, are we not, and would we reach this quality without the input of the many porters we are going to let out in the cold ? > What about the heavy burden on the security team?

But which problems ? there has not been a concise description of said problems, nor of which of those will be solved with the drastic steps preconised.
