[Voyage-linux] Request for kernel module and linux-kernel-headers package

[Panagiotis Malakoudis]

Hello from me to all,

In the voyage kernel there is no support for usb hid devices (hiddev),
kernel option CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV. It would be nice if it could be added in
next kernel build. Without this support you cannot use for example APC UPS
with usb support, and of course other hid devices as well.

In all debian based distributions, there is a package along with the kernel
that is called linux-kernel-headers. This enables an administrator to build
extra modules for the running kernel without recompiling the whole kernel.
This is not the same as with package linux-source. linux-kernel-headers
comes with all include files, symbolic links and kernel compile environment
(version name etc) that enables you to build additional modules for running
kernel.
If you builld the deb package for kernel "the debian way", you can automate
the creation of the linux-kernel-headers package.
So, please add linux-kernel-headers package for next kernel build.
