We have not used per-architecture patches for many years. This is a
step toward using a more standard patch system.

I already changed the 'real' module installation step to avoid
creating and then removing an unknown set of module index files, using
a script as a replacement for depmod. However, we use modules_install
a second time when building debug packages. Change that similarly, and
remove the build-dependency.

We want to avoid shipping any files generated by depmod (which should
be generated in the postinst) and the 'build' and 'source' symlinks
(which should be installed by the linux-headers package). Since
depmod has generated more and more files over time, we have been
removing all unexpected files under /lib/modules/<kernel-version>,
accidentally including modules.builtin which is *not* generated by
depmod.
Try to solve the problem generally by substituting a dummy depmod
command and then just removing the 'build' and 'source' symlinks.

The default (arch-independent) configuration was previously provided
by the kernel-wedge package, but we want to be able to update it
without changing that in future. Copy the configuration files from
kernel-wedge 2.82 (except loop-aes-modules which is now unused).
Depend on kernel-wedge 2.83, which adds this feature.

Use kernel-wedge in gencontrol.py and during the build process to
generate the udeb packages required by debian-installer.
Add the kernel-wedge configuration files from all the current
linux-kernel-di-$arch-2.6 packages.

Install include/asm under arch-specific directory.
Mark package as multi-arch-coinstallable (Multi-Arch: same).

Warn users that specify one in /etc/kernel-img.conf.
Require initramfs-tools >= 0.99, which does not depend on being directly
invoked.

These now have their own source packages.
Change the depends/recommends relations to these binary packages to
use a minimum version of 3~, less than the initial versions of the
separate source packages but still greater than the previous versions.
Remove the debconf templates and translations for linux-base.

initramfs-tools still assumes that official kernel packages will call
it specifically and does nothing in the postinst hook if it recognises
that it has been called by an official package. Therefore we cannot
make this change yet.

Warn users that specify one in /etc/kernel-img.conf.
Require initramfs-tools >= 0.94, which installs a postinst hook.
