package: dkms
version: 2.1.0.1-4
severity: important

hi, i just upgraded to the linux 2.6.32 package today and noticed that
my kernel modules (virtualbox and fglrx) had not been rebuilt for the
new version. it would be very nice if dkms did this automagically.

also, this limitatation could have a significant impact (which is why i
rated this bug important) in the future if a kernel ABI change occurs
in the stable release since dkms modules for that new ABI will not be
available.  this would be a big headache to manually deal with;
whereas, it would be much easier to implement autorebuilding in
unstable now before dkms enters stable.

best wishes,
mike

Uhm, right. I believe we already discussed this somewhen in the past :-)

Definitely closing the bug then.
