Currently we have xz-utils in build-depends-indep as we explicitly
use xz to compress files in linux-source. We also have a build-
dependency on lzma (now a virtual package provided by xz-utils),
but only on armel which was the first architecture for which we
set CONFIG_KERNEL_XZ=y.
However, since 3.7 we've set CONFIG_KERNEL_XZ for all architectures so
xz-utils is needed everywhere. Currently we get away with this
because dpkg-dev depends on xz-utils, but this could change in future.
Build-depend on xz-utils without qualification.
liblockdep is in fairly bad shape - one patch needed to make it build
at all, another to make it build in a separate directory successfully,
and a third to fix the soname. And the install rule doesn't install
its public headers. But maybe it will be useful.
linux-tools-4.1 already exists in experimental. As linux-perf-4.1
installs the same files, it needs to conflict and replace it.
This won't be needed for 4.2 onward.

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 transition from libunwind soversion 7 to 8 is blocked and will
likely remain blocked for some time because libunwind7 is linked into
all ia64 binaries.
For amd64 and i386, downgrade the build-dependency to libunwind7-dev.
For architectures that are supported by libunwind8-dev, remove the
build-dependency and ensure we don't accidentally link with libunwind8
by setting NO_LIBUNWIND=1 when building perf.
svn path=/dists/sid/linux-tools/; revision=20755
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might also need to be upgraded, as a driver requires a newer version
of the firmware that has a different name.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.

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.
svn path=/dists/trunk/linux/; revision=20509
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.

Drop most patches as they're already upstream in 3.8 or early.
Refresh some others for 3.8. In particular, remove use of __devinit from
debian/radeon-firmware-is-required-for-drm-and-kms-on-r600-onward.patch
as this macro is no longer defined or needed.
