Hi Julien,

> Attempting to compile this package with newer Kernel version (e.g. v5.4)
> fails with message:

>    Generating local configuration database from kernel ...Kernel version parse failed!

> Upgrading the package to 5.8 fixes this issue. Anyways, v4.4 is now
> rather old and beat the very purpose of having newer drivers in older
> kernels.

> Since backports tag v4.14-rc4-1, the requirement on minimal kernel
> version changed from 3.0 to 3.10. See commit [1]. The minimal kernel
> version check is changed accordingly.

> License files are also updated: the linux backports package copies the
> license files from the kernel version used for its generation. v5.8 is now
> "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note".
