* [1229dc0]: Consolidate sparc variants post 2.6.29 when building a
  kernel on Sun (sparc64), kernel-package searches the final kernel
  image in arch/sparc64/boot/image, but there is no arch/sparc64/
  anymore in 2.6.29-rc3 (and probably earlier .29 releases). All the
  stuff was merged into arch/sparc/. So now kernel arch is always
  sparc.
  Bug fix: "arch/sparc64 is no more (2.6.29-rc3)", thanks to Evgeni
  Golov (Closes: #514228).
* [5242160]: Also run hook files in /etc/kernel/{src,header}_postinst.d
  The only way to add hook scripts was to add them to the
  src_postinst_hook and header_postinst_hook, which seemed to be
  suboptimal.
* [da0f706]: Handle unusual umask values
  (chmod after using sed to create files) If the user has a crazy umask,
  then creating the ./debian/control and ./debian/changelog files would
  end up with strange permissions that caused dpkg to choke.
  Bug fix: "make-kpkg fails under strange umask values", thanks to Bart
  Massey. (Closes: #514482)
* [b2413fc]: Provide version when using the minimal rules file.
  When the ./debian directory does not exist, the frirs
  step is to use a minimal rules file to create the ./debian
  directory, and _then_ use the full rules file for all other actions.
  Unfortunately, the minimal rules file did not know what version of
  kernel-package it belonged to, so now make-kpkg provides that
  information.
  Bug fix: "This is kernel package version .", thanks to
  <email address hidden></a>; (Closes: #508198).
* [792a2b9]: Added german debconf translation.
  Bug fix: "[INTL:de] updated german program translation", thanks to
  Holger Wansing (Closes: #507517).

* [ec3919c]: Fixed deficiencies in kernel-pkg.conf(5) manual
  Bug fix: "minor issues in kernel-pkg.conf manpage", thanks to
  Christoph Anton Mitterer (Closes: Bug#526937).
* [007d296]: Fix issues with kernel-img.conf man page
  Bug fix: "minor issues in kernel-img.conf manpage", thanks to
  Christoph Anton Mitterer (Closes: Bug#526977).

4. By Manoj on 2008-11-25

* New bugfix version
* [3000654]: Fix a man page typo (headers_postinst_hook -> header_postinst_hook)
* [0d0b709]: [sparc] The gzipped image file must not have the .gz suffix
  Bug fix: "[sparc] Breaks on gzip compression" (Closes: #506854)
* [18b6142]: Do not override the config target set in kernel-pkg.conf
  By removing the default value, and only setting the config target if
  it was empty, allows users to set the target for all future
  compilations on that machine. This is a pretty safe fix.
  Bug fix: "config_target in /etc/kernel-pkg.conf gets ignored", thanks
  to Harald Gutmann (Closes: #506905)

3. By Manoj on 2007-02-25

* Bug fix: "kernel-package: using obsolete package 'ldso'", thanks to
  <email address hidden>. Well, we were not exactly "using" the package, but
  just recording the version number. This is a low risk change.
                                                      (Closes: #407793).
* Bug fix: "kernel-package needs some additions to @files_to_remove",
  thanks to Stephen Gran. Added modules.seriomap as a file to be
  removed in the postrm, allowing /lib/modules/$version to be removed.
                                                       (Closes: #408900).
* Bug fix: "kernel-package: linux-headers for UML do not include various
  Makefiles", thanks to Marcus Better. This should be a low impact
  change. (Closes: #408369).
* Bug fix: "Kernel and initrd image symlinks aren't updated properly",
  thanks to Dennis Vshivkov. This bug needs to be fixed for Etch, since
  it causes the symbolic links to the image and initrd to not be
  updated in some cases. (Closes: #409240).
* Bug fix: "kernel-package support for armel", thanks to Joey Hess. This
  should be a low risk change for other architectures, and armel is not
  yet in consideration for etch, so any support in kernel-package is
  better than none. (Closes: #410459).

2. By Manoj on 2005-05-07

* Bug fix: "kernel-package incompatible with experimental dpkg", thanks
  to Thomas Luzat. The problem is that dpkg-architecture
  -qDEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM output haschanged for Linux, resulting in
  kernel-package failing to figure out the system time. So, added
  DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS, which is only supported in the dpkg in experimental
  so far. This ain't ever gonna get into Sarge, but shall be in
  Etch. Try to cope with the dpkg released with Sarge, as well as the
  future dpkg that shall be in Etch. Discussed with RM, and this was
  deemed wrthy of pushing into Sarge (Closes: #307587).
* Bug fix: "kernel-package: [INTL:es] make-kpkg update", thanks to Ruben
  Porras (Closes: #307713).

marks debian as phony and removes it from stamp-* dependencies where
stamp-debian is used instead. Thanks to Herbert Xu for the patch.
