If it was up to me i guess it wouldn't take much time. I have to discuss
that with either you and bdale, to state *how* we want it done...

Anyway, let me remind you that as for generating 2.6 netinsts, i _do_ need
arch/parisc/debian-configs/* files to provide you with a 2.6 package.

Since i'm not willing to find out by myself what we want and what we don't
want in 2.6 "debian stock" kernel configs (that's a matter for the b-f
maintainer i guess, or maybe my kernel package mentor - aka bdale - has
some ideas about it ;), i won't be able to do anything _prior_ to these
files appearance in our CVS tree...
