I am not sure but,
I just worried about the backward compatibility...
Was this previously broken?

I guess debian is using own control file
instead of the one in upstream kernel.
So, this is almost a matter for developers, I think.

How did debian-base distros managed this before,
and will this introduce no breakage?

Ben,
Could you comment on this?
