At the beginning of the work we had the following pkgs:
* user-mode-linux (ready);
* kernel-patch-uml (no more usefull, then dismissed);
* kernel-patch-skas (to work on);
* uml-utilities (almost ready);
* user-mode-linux-doc (maybe to be updated with the recent changes).

At this moment the state of the work is that there are a few important
changes still to do and some minor thing to fix. It seems that Matt
Zimmermann can be happy of our improvement.
It would be great if the port on powerpc shall enter in sid, but Ashwin
has no more worked on it and we are pretty busy on the current work.
Next important job is to introduce the SKAS patches in the
kernel-patch-skas pkg so that the people are able to build their on host
kernel.
Do you agree?

Cheers

PS: since we both have worked on the u-m-l pkgs I agree to fix the
