urgh, must I? That trashes Neil's kmod-add-init-function-to-usermodehelper.patch and kmod-replace-call_usermodehelper_pipe-with-use-of-umh-init-function-and-resolve-limit.patch and probably requires repairing other stuff and sets the testing status back to "square one".
If you have patches queued, please make the time to support them!
