There was an announcement some hours ago which explains the (possible)=20
backgrounds further[1]. It looks like the packages which builds binary=20
packages from out-of-the-tree modules gets removed and it is now preferred =
to=20
send the source upstream to staging by the author of the module, patch the=
=20
kernel sources to include the must-have kernel modules or use the dkms[2] t=
o=20
build kernel modules.

I will search for some more information what must be done to support dkms a=
nd=20
send some patches if it looks promising for upstream. There is currently on=
ly=20
one package[3] in Debian which supports it. So lets see if we can add a sec=
ond=20
and third one :)

Best regards,
	Sven
