19 You can't really expect me to take responsibility for a commit I can't
20 test. It's better to have users picking up a working package from
21 upstream, than waste time on the 'crap' we have in tree. So yes, I've
22 masked it for removal.

24 Feel free to pick it up and unmask it. Be sure to add yourself in
25 metadata.xml as this one seems to break with every second kernel version.
