Last I checked, dak was being reeducated so that it could be told about udebs it needed to keep around due to them being in initrd builds. The same approach could be used fairly easily to keep kernel source around until the corresponding udebs have been rebuilt. The main problem with moving udebs into the kernel build process, I think, is that the installer team needs to be able to change their structure relatively frequently; for example, the exact balance of modules in various udebs affects whether it's possible to build installer floppies and other media with space restrictions. Historically, having the udebs be controlled by the d-i team made sense. Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
