      * debian/gen-modaliases: handle invalid UTF-8 encoding in modinfo output.
      * Build-Depend on linux-image-generic to pull in the latest kernel and
        point the module list generator at the modules as installed by it during
        build.

  • linux-firmware-nonfree (1.13) quantal; urgency=low
    
      * Add Modaliases: package header, so that ubuntu-drivers-common, PackageKit,
        and aptdaemon can pick up this package automatically when a covered piece
        of hardware is installed:
        - Add debian/gen-modaliases: Generate a dh_modalias input file covering
          all modaliases from all modules from the currently running kernel which
          need any firmware shipped by this package.
        - debian/rules: Add debian/linux-firmware-nonfree.modaliases target, which
          calls gen-modaliases. This should be called whenever new firmware
          gets added to this package, and occasionally for new kernels. It uses
          the system installed modules, though; fixing this to work on buildds
          would be highly welcome.
        - Add debian/linux-firmware-nonfree.modaliases: Result for current
          Ubuntu Quantal kernel 3.4.0-2-generic, generated by the rule above.
        - debian/control, debian/rules: Call dh_modaliases to insert the
          modaliases into the package header. Add dh-modaliases build dependency.
