Thanks for the quick replies! I love that I run Sid (on 4 machines), only
notice something worth reporting every 2 years or so, and get immediate
responses! <3 Debian.

I've not built a Kernel (or any related part) in a VERY long time, I think
maybe 2.6.something? I've simply not needed to. I still don't need to :-)

I'm aware of the need being only for kernel headers, however I've been
burned on Sid before by not grabbing them at the time of the image, and not
being able to grab them later as they are not persisted in parallel in the
repo. Then you're forced to get a new kernel and headers, and back then,
that meant possible bugs/changed behaviours that I didn't want. So I always
install headers up front. And I should use meta packages to do that, but
haven't been in the past.

Meta-packages that glue this stuff all together seem to be missing from
experimental too. If you don't care, it's fine by me. Just letting you know
in case it was an oversight.

Again, thanks for all of the hard work, and the super responsiveness! Much
appreciated! <3

Regards,

Fred
