They'd probably have ignored you even if you had complained, I did and I was 
ignored. :-/

Please put it back! At least until we have a workable alternative. I don't call 
having to bump Release for each trivial build fix "workable".

Otherwise, I think we'll end up with lots of packages with the kernel's "make 
Release from CVS revision" hack, is that really what we want???
