   This variable may contain an expression, which will be used as a wrapper

-Major TODO items remaining:
+Some things to think about:
 
 * Looks like it would be optimal to have a common kernel-headers package
   which would contain common headers for all arches without unmerged patches.
 
-* Various remaining kludges (stripping and sparc32/sparc64 stuff on sparc,
-  for example).
-
 * Generate the control file for individual files dynamically, so that we
   do not have that ridiculous master control file.
