[Debian-eeepc-devel] Debian packages for bluetooth and elantech kernel patches

I've packaged the Bluetooth-support patch for the eeepc-laptop kernel
module in eeepc-bluetooth.git, and the Elantech-support patch for the
psmouse module in elantech.git (both in the debian-eeepc directory on
git.debian.org)

They produce *-source debs, which when installed can be used with
module-assistant to produce *-modules-NNN debs, which can then be
installed on the Eee.  They use /etc/depmod.d/* files to make sure
depmod and modprobe use the correct modules, since they shadow
existing ones.

These are intended for use with the 2.6.26 Lenny kernel (and
build-depend on the source tree). Later kernel versions will probably
include these features already.

I don't really see a need to get them into the official Debian archive --
they're just a stopgap measure.  I think it would make sense to put
the source debs on the debian-eeepc.debian.net repository, though.
