Why aren't there dependancies on the right kernel then?

Why are these bugs still listed as open, then?
Brian, I don't wanna seem pissy, but I really wish you were more
responsive and better and closing bugs and providing packages with the
proper dependancies. I get a little annoyed when my PCMCIA subsystem
goes down. This seems to happen about 33% of the time whenever I
upgrade pcmcia/kernel.
I realize it's a bad situation, with pcmcia not integrated in the
kernel. But that's what the debian packaging system is for. I feel
you are not doing a great job with providing quality packages that
work.
At this point, this is seriously slowing down the release process and
our ability to release quality boot-floppies.
