Bug Description

Running lintian against the current linux-linaro-omap binary packages returns the following warnings/errors, which I've grouped by category/importance. These should be cleaned up.

W: linux-image-2.6.37-1001-linaro-omap: missing-debconf-dependency-for-preinst

Using debconf in a preinst maintainer script requires a pre-dependency on debconf. This may cause obscure failures on upgrades because dpkg has not been told the debconf package needs to be configured before trying to unpack a kernel package.

E: linux-image-2.6.37-1001-linaro-omap: depends-on-essential-package-without-using-version depends: coreutils
E: linux-headers-2.6.37-1001-linaro-omap: depends-on-essential-package-without-using-version depends: coreutils

These references to coreutils are bogus and should be fixed.

W: linux-image-2.6.37-1001-linaro-omap: copyright-without-copyright-notice
W: linux-headers-2.6.37-1001-linaro-omap: copyright-without-copyright-notice

Self-explanatory...

W: linux-headers-2.6.37-1001-linaro-omap: extended-description-line-too-long

Self-explanatory and trivial to fix by word-wrapping the description.

W: linux-image-2.6.37-1001-linaro-omap: postrm-does-not-purge-debconf

This clutters up the debconf database with stale metadata.

W: nic-shared-modules-2.6.37-1001-linaro-omap-di udeb: description-starts-with-leading-spaces

extra whitespace in debian.master/d-i/package-list, it seems; probably needs fixed in the Ubuntu base kernel package.

E: linux-headers-2.6.37-1001-linaro-omap: unstripped-binary-or-object ./usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.37-1001-linaro-omap/scripts/basic/docproc
E: linux-headers-2.6.37-1001-linaro-omap: unstripped-binary-or-object ./usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.37-1001-linaro-omap/scripts/basic/fixdep
E: linux-headers-2.6.37-1001-linaro-omap: unstripped-binary-or-object ./usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.37-1001-linaro-omap/scripts/conmakehash

E: linux-headers-2.6.37-1001-linaro-omap: unstripped-binary-or-object ./usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.37-1001-linaro-omap/scripts/selinux/genheaders/genheaders

These are all errors, but fairly low-priority, I guess. Can be fixed down the line with an appropriate argument to dh_strip.
