18 Thanks, this works (never heard of this file before). But there
19 is one small problem: no wildcards are allowed, so whenever new
20 sorces come I'll have to edit package.provided again, and again...

22 BTW why should kmod depend on kernel-sources? Or even better, why
23 should be kmod installed, if I have static (non-modular) kernel?
