Changelog
linux-2.6 (2.6.32-22) unstable; urgency=low
[ Ian Campbell ]
* xen: backport pvhvm drivers from upstream.
* Fixes/overrides for Lintian warnings:
- Add "(meta package)" to short description of linux-headers
metapackages, resolves empty-binary-package.
- Add dependency on ${misc:Depends} to all packages, resolves
debhelper-but-no-misc-depends. Required update to gencontrol.py to
augment rather than override headers_arch_depends read from templates.
- Override dbg-package-missing-depends for linux-image-*-dbg. It is not
necessary to install the kernel image package to use the dbg package
since the dbg package already contains a complete image with symbols.
