Package: linux-wlan-ng
Version: 0.2.8+svn1850+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

With the new kernel modules as of 0.2.8+svn1850+dfsg-1 the linux-wlan-ng 
package itself is not strictly needed for many users (mostly only for 
those who need firmware RAM loading). However the -modules- packages 
have a dependency on it. Maybe it can be changed to a Recommends or 
Suggests.
