Yes. There is no record in the package that a bug report in the Debian BTS
was closed in this version. What about other users who experienced the same
bug? Is it so hard to explain what bug was fixed, and if possible, how it
was fixed?
Would you upload a new kernel-source saying "Closes: #242141" rather than
"apply patch from 2.6.48 to fix root security hole in nanosleep()"?
