Per https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/499557, kernels should be in
"Section: kernel" these days.  We'll override this in the archive, but
it would make life easier if the kernel packaging matched as well.

(It does no harm for this to be applied to earlier releases as well,
though it doesn't have to be, so whatever's easiest for you.)


Thanks,

Applied to Precise.

Would applying this patch to older releases prevent the problem where 
new kernels end up in universe ?

No, it makes no difference either way to that.  That's basically some
combination of archive admin carelessness and Launchpad infelicities.

That said, can this be applied to other flavours as well (esp. ARM) or
will that happen automatically?

Thanks,

I'll apply it to ti-omap4 as well.
