Yes, assuming Lee could test any packages for us, I would be willing
to see if I can convert them into kernel-independent kABI tracking
kmods.

With regards to the extra patch for Dahdi, would it be more sensible
to offer it upstream, to the package maintainer, to have it
incorporated that way?

And, finally, I declare my ignorance -- I have no knowledge of mlSDN
and Dahdi. A very brief introduction (or pointer to such) would be
appreciated.

Alan.
