Bug Description
Binary package hint: wireless-tools
The wireless-tools package includes changes to various versions of the wireless.h header shipped in the package, but all of these are either old versions of the header which don't get included in the binary package (because they're for old interfaces), or don't need to be changed because the code is properly guarded with an #ifdef __KERNEL__ check. The delta should therefore be dropped since it's not needed and is a source of unnecessary maintenance overhead.
