[pkg-fso-maint] [Debian] Finally, linux-2.6-openmoko into the pkg-fso repository

[Luca Capello]

Hi there!

I finished to work on the Linux Debian package [1], at least to a point
where it's good to be released.  Thus, you can now install the Linux
kernel simply with `apt-get install linux-image-2.6.24-openmoko-gta02`.

Some notes, before people start complaining ;-)

1) the kernel version is the one Philipp Kern started to work on [2],
   i.e. 20080808.git43620428 [3].  Now that I can build kernel images on
   Debian *and* for Debian, I'll compile the milestone3 kernel.

2) the kernel .config is simply defconfig-gta02, i.e. Openmoko
   upstream's one.  Before moving as more driver as possible to modules
   instead of being inline [4], I'd like to have a milestone3 kernel
   with upstream's .config.

I tested the package after having installed fso-kernel-installer [5] and
also with my specific setup (where uImage.bin is already a symlink): in
both cases the package installation was correct.

Please report back any problem.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
