This is really a bug in src:linux which has been reported several times in different packages.

In fact, I filed two bugs very similar to this one, only to see that
Martin Michlmayr had already reported them several days ago (but they
were reassigned so I didn't know).

After that I've become a big fan of "affects" as a way to avoid this
kind of duplicates.

Thanks.
