Maintainer: Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org>
Standards-Version: 3.7.2.0

Package: kernel-package
Description: A utility for building Linux kernel related Debian packages.
 This package provides the capability to create a debian kernel-image
 package by just running make-kpkg kernel_image in a kernel source
 directory tree.  It can also package the relevant kernel headers into
 a kernel-headers package. In general, this package is very useful if
 you need to create a custom kernel, if, for example, the default
 kernel does not support some of your hardware, or you wish a leaner,
 meaner kernel.  It also scripts the steps that need be taken to
 compile the kernel, which is quite convenient (forgetting a crucial
 step once was the initial motivation for this package). Please look at 
 /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/Rationale.gz for a full list of advantages
 of this package.
