Uploaded to the pkg-fso repository.  Please test and report back!

FYI, this should be exactly the same kernel version officially shipped
as FSO-milestone3, but compiled in a Debian fashion.  Thus, if you find
a kernel bug, feel free to file it to the Debian BTS (as explained at
[2]), but please check if the bug is also present in the FSO-milestone3
kernel (in which case the bug should be filed at the FSO BTS [3].

If no bug related to packaging arises, the next steps will be:

1) move the U-Boot image creation at installation time
2) compile as many drivers as possible as modules (no pun intended)
3) switch to kernel-package [4] to build the package

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
