libunwind8-dev is available but practically uninstallable on ia64, as
the default compiler version is still gcc-4.6 which depends on
libunwind7-dev and thus conflicts with it.
We could use libunwind7-dev instead, but then we only want it for perf
which we can't build for ia64 anyway!

At this point, Debian users should know that they may need to install
firmware from non-free. People using e.g. the r8169 driver may quite
reasonably choose not to install the associated firmware, either
because the driver doesn't actually request it for their chip or
because the driver can still work without it.
One thing we lose by doing this is a reminder that a firmware package
might also need to be upgraded, as a driver requires a newer version
of the firmware that has a different name. As an alternative, we
could compare the firmware file lists for old and new modules and only
warn about newly listed files that are missing. However, that would
also result in incorrect warnings for e.g. r8169 users, as that driver
may request a different file for each of the many chips it supports.

Refresh with: debconf-updatepo --podir=debian/templates/po
This resulted in some fuzzy matches between "Boot loader configuration

obviously should not use the same translation so I removed the fuzzy
translations.

Use the same template syntax and implementation for maintainer
scripts, translations, etc. as we do for the control files. Define
the image-stem and initramfs variables to replace the old K and I
variables.
After this, debian/linux-* and debian/po/*.po are generated files (at
source preparation time) and should be ignored in svn.
Use debhelper to install the generated files at build time. This also
results in a redundant dependency on debconf (which we already have in
Pre-Depends), but this seems harmless.
svn path=/dists/trunk/linux/; revision=20508
Maintainer scripts generated by kernel-package pass an environment
variable $KERNEL_ARCH to hook scripts. This is undocumented but seems
to be the architecture string that the kernel will report
(e.g. through 'uname -m').
However, for the past few years our maintainer scripts have set it to
the source architecture name instead. Since no-one reported this bug,
I don't think anyone depends on it. codesearch didn't find any users
either. So remove it.

Since the module taint string includes parentheses if is non-empty, I

As far as I understand debconf, there must be a template and input() for
${package_name}/postinst/create-kimage-link-$version in order to get a
value saved. Since I did not find it I guess that this can't work.
If the bootloader is palo than the answer is ignored anyway so the
question is not required there.
kernel-img.conf(5) says that do_symlinks defaults to yes.

"The problem is that (a) the kernel's postinst uses debconf, which uses
stdin and stdout for communication and forbids other junk from appearing
there, and (b) the kernel's postinst calls update-initramfs, which
outputs status information to stdout which debconf thinks is a command
in its protocol and thus confuses any future real debconf commands.
Since the kernel's postinst is the thing with special requirements due
to using debconf, it should be the thing responsible for redirecting
file descriptors around as necessary." -cjwatson
