Maybe it would be useful to describe here _what_ binary package is meant here. I
don't know what xsim, as mentioned in the subject of this message, has to do
with FAI.
The Ubuntu team decided to remove foreign kernels, and FAI recommands the
fai-kernels package - is that what this bug is about?
Then only the Ubuntu developers can do something against that situtaion and
decide that the stuff needed fo fai-kernels get back into Ubuntu.
There is already a bug in launchpad about this IIRC.
For most users, this makes the FAI package delivered with Ubuntu very hard to
use, they need to download fai-kernels manually from the FAI download location
to get started easily with FAI.
Also, probably, the package fai-quickstart has unresolved dependencies like
that.
