[klauskiwi]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kernel-package

This bug is related to kernel-package 10.049ubuntu4

Steps to reproduce:
1) untar linux-2.6.18.tar.bz2
2) cd linux-2.6.18
3) make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd --revision 1 kernel_image modules_image

after a while, the build process fails with
------------------cut-here----------------------------------------------
====== making target install/linux-image-kdump [new prereqs: ]======
This is kernel package version 10.049ubuntu4.
echo "The UTS Release version in include/linux/version.h"; echo "     \"\" "; echo "does not match current version:"; echo "     \"2.6.18\" "; echo "Please correct this."; exit 2
The UTS Release version in include/linux/version.h
     "" 
does not match current version:
     "2.6.18" 
Please correct this.
make: ** [install/linux-image-kdump] Erro 2
-------------------cut-here----------------------------------------------
The problem seems similar to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=355147
but with this new target 'linux-image-kdump'.

Problem did not happened before in Dapper release (same kernel, same
dir, same command)
