I've removed 'kernel' and 'linux-image' pseudo-packages, and added a "replace" rule from those to 'linux-2.6' (adding a note about the removal of those pseudo).

According to Don Armstrong there is no linux-image pseudo package, so the special treatment in the code should indeed be removed.

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

Thanks for the update. > Please remove "kernel" from reportbug. Currently we have 2 pseudo-packages for the kernel: 'kernel' : 'IMPORTANT: Obsolete, please use "linux-image" instead (linux-image will be used in any case)', 'linux-image' : 'Problems with the Linux kernel, or the kernel shipped with Debian', reporting against kernel, automatically is switched to report against linux-image. So, should we remove even linux-image (it's not in teh official list of pseudo-packages nowdays)? I think so, but better be sage than sorry :) > 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?

[Reportbug-maint] Bug#510690: reportbug: Pseudo package "kernel" has been removed
Package: reportbug Version: 3.48 Severity: normal The pseudo package "kernel" has been removed. It was useful in the days, where Debian had about 10 different kernel source packages, but is obsolete, since we now build our kernel from the source package linux-2.6. Please remove "kernel" from reportbug. Bugs file against "kernel" should be filed against the "linux-2.6" source package instead.
