-Package: linux-tree-@version@
-Architecture: all
-Section: devel
-Description: Linux kernel source tree for building Debian kernel images
- This metapackage is used as a build dependency of Debian
- linux-image packages to prevent a version discrepancy between
- the linux-image and corresponding linux-sources packages in the
- fast-moving unstable archive.  The package's dependency relations
- are structured so that a linux-image package's build
- dependencies can always be satisfied, even if the linux-source
- package that had been used to compile the image has been
- superseded by a newer Debian revision since the last build.
- .
- The package provides a list of virtual packages, corresponding to
- Debian revisions of a linux-source package.  The Debian
- linux-patch contains the information needed to roll back the
- current linux-source to any of the revisions identified by the
- provided virtual packages.  Therefore, the linux-tree package
- ensures the availability of the Linux kernel source tree corresponding
- to each of the virtual packages listed.
- .
- The package serves no purpose outside of the Debian build and
- archive infrastructure.
