Missing important kernel images in 1rst Debian DVD and CD

Hi, As usually important kernel-images (like kernel-image-2.6-k7) are missing in 1rst DVD disk of latest official Sarge DVD images (Oct-22 and older), while not usefull (outdated) kernel images take lots of place in first Debian Sarge DVD: morph@Zaidimai:/media$ du -h cdrom/pool/main/k |grep kernel |grep M 4,5M cdrom/pool/main/k/kernel-image-2.4.25-i386 4,8M cdrom/pool/main/k/kernel-image-2.4.26-i386 42M cdrom/pool/main/k/kernel-image-2.4.27-i386 18M cdrom/pool/main/k/kernel-image-2.6.7-i386 62M cdrom/pool/main/k/kernel-image-2.6.8-amd64 43M cdrom/pool/main/k/kernel-image-2.6.8-i386 11M cdrom/pool/main/k/kernel-image-speakup-i386 4,0M cdrom/pool/main/k/kernel-source-2.4.26 40M cdrom/pool/main/k/kernel-source-2.6.6 40M cdrom/pool/main/k/kernel-source-2.6.7 More, than 100 MB are wasted by not usefull (outdated) kernel-image and kernel-source packages, while latest aren't fully included - for example there are missing kernel-image-2.6.8-1-k7 and kernel-headers-2.6.8-k7 :( I think debian-cd scripts should be modified to include only one version (with all variants - 686, k7, 586, etc.) of kernel-image-2.4.x and one of kernel-image-2.6.x Popularity-contest shouldn't make impact on kernel-image, kernel-headers, kernel-doc or kernel-source packages, because there always will be lots of people, who uses outdated kernel packages. Excluding/including kernel packages should be not static (like writing concrete kernel-image or kernel-source versions in tasks/exclude-sarge file), but intelligent (maybe with regexps or maybe generating tasks/included_kernels file on the fly (from list of available packages) in CD/DVD image making scripts. Basic rules should be following: 1. Should *always* include all variants (ant least in 1rst DVD image should be 686, k7, etc) of latest kernel-image-2.6 and kernel-image-2.4) 2. Should *always* exclude older (not latest) versions of kernel-source, kernel-doc, kernel-patch-debian, kernel-tree, kernel-headers and kernel-pcmcia-modules More info about kernel images in first CD are in this tread: http://lists.debian.org/debian-cd/2004/01/msg00144.html As I understand this is debian-cd package's job, should I report a bug agains this package?
