What I was told by the #ubuntu-devel crowd is that kdump-tools would get
into main by the simple fact of having a main package with a dependancy
toward kdump-tools. My verification with Martin Pitt this morning lead
to believe that once crashdump-tools would depend on it, it would make
its way into main automagically.

I don't know of any other package in main that would depend on
kdump-tools, as makedumpfile has no dependency toward kdump-tools but
rather the opposite.

Kind regards,

...Louis
