** Description changed:

  As one might expect, quantal’s new kernel 3.5 breaks openafs again.  The
  upstream deltas to fix it are
  
      - [cc63cbb] Linux 3.4: replace end_writeback with clear_inode
      - [407e7c9] Linux 3.5: encode_fh API change
+ 
+ [Impact]
+ Now that linux-image-generic-lts-quantal is in precise main and installed by 
default, the OpenAFS kernel module fails to build on precise.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ apt-get install openafs-modules-dkms
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ This fix is already well-tested in quantal.  (The only difference between 
precise’s 1.6.1-1 and quantal’s pre-change 1.6.1-2 is translation updates.)  
It’s a minimal change that has no effect on pre-3.5 kernels, via preprocessor 
defines.  In the unlikely event of a regression, OpenAFS may fail to come up, 
but the local system will remain usable.
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+ Since debian/source/options contains ‘single-debian-patch’, you may need to 
check that the debdiff was really applied (see comments).
