First, I'll work on uml this week, to get it back in the archive. And then later I'll see how best to integrate it into debian-kernel. PS: And I just noticed you did some work with uml-utilities.

I saw uml-utilities installed on many systems just because it contains tunctl and integration into ifupdown. Removing uml-utilities may break these systems. Is there any migration plan in case uml-utilities is removed? Jan

No. At the moment it doesn't make much sense to keep uml-utilities in the archive. Even if/when UML is re-added, it should be considered whether uml-utilities are all that useful. > PS: I'm trying to bring back user-mode-linux back into the archive.

I'd like to say that I'm trying too, but effectively I have a lot of ideas but very little time to go after them. Specifically, the biggest problem I had with the previous packaging was that it required too much maintenance burden. UML should be one of the artifacts created by the regular Debian kernel builds. -- mattia :wq!
