Unfortunately it is not sufficient to provide virtual packages
that exactly match the ABI name. For example, 'reportbug kernel'
doesn't find the virtual package, and neither do dpkg commands
such as 'dpkg -l linux-image-$(uname -r)'.

The template file has been moved, but POTFILES.in hasn't been updated
following that move. This way the po files can be updated using:
debconf-updatepo --podir=debian/templates/po

Replace 'powerpc/powernv: Add calls to support little endian host'
with the version committed upstream.
Drop the ABI-preserving changes.

- Remove versions for debhelper, python, kernel-wedge that are satisfied by stable
- Remove module-init-tools as alternative to kmod, which is in stable

debian/lib/python/debian_linux/debian.py,
debian/lib/python/debian_linux/patches.py,
- Support Python 3.
- Use six if necessary.

Depend on python-six.

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might also need to be upgraded, as a driver requires a newer version
of the firmware that has a different name.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.

We warned about removal of the 'ramdisk' configuration variable
on upgrade to wheezy, and don't need to warn about it again - at
least not this prominently.
svn path=/dists/trunk/linux/; revision=20510
Refresh with: debconf-updatepo --podir=debian/templates/po
This resulted in some fuzzy matches between "Boot loader configuration
must be updated" and "Ramdisk configuration must be updated". These
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.
