No.  I seem to remember it working that way in the past, or at least
having the appearance of working that way.

I thought they modules for the 2.6.26 kernel were built (manually) over

I see that because the old versions were deleted from testing, the fixed
ones now can't go in because they are considered an add.

I guess someone has to bug the release manager about it.
