Package: module-assistant
Version: 0.5
Severity: normal
It appears that module-assistant doesn't cope terribly well with the way
the kernel is packaged for PowerPC machines. The program appears to
insist on having a package kernel-headers-$(uname -r) installed but the
only format in which the source is avaliable as a package is a
kernel-patch-$VER-powerpc package.
I'm not entirely sure what the way forward here is or if this is even a
problem for module-assistant to address - a large part of the reason I'm
trying to use module-assistant is that I don't really follow how one is
supposed to work with kernel module packages shipped as source.

dear bug subitters,
thanks for your bug report. Newest Debian unstable ships much newer
linux 2.6 kernels. So either your bug repot got solved or due to new
packageing is no longer relevant. therefor closing.
if you still experience the mentioned problem, don't hesitate to write
back and the report will be reopened.
you might want to test out the daily builds of the debian installer:
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/
the next beta 3 installer for Debian Etch is expected soon. :)
thanks for your feedback.
best regards
