I hadn't known about linux-image. I've send the BTS owners a mail to remove this pseudo package as well, so please remove it from reportbug likewise. > > Bugs file against "kernel" should > > be filed against the "linux-2.6" source package instead. > > Ok, but do you want us to do "under the wood" or an error/message > should be prompted? I suppose the best solution would be a short status message, like 'The pseudo packages "kernel" and "linux-image" have been removed,' 'filing the report against the linux-2.6 source package' Cheers, Moritz _______________________________________________ Reportbug-maint mailing list Reportbug-maint@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/reportbug-maint
