Dropping i386 kernel packages

[Ben Hutchings]

Hello all,

This is a heads-up that the kernel team is planning to stop building
i386 kernel packages shortly (probably starting with Linux 6.11).

As this was previously discussed at last year's Cambridge mini-DebConf
and announced in
<https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2023/12/msg00003.html>,
I hope this doesn't come as much of a surprise. :-)

Ben.

Thanks, appreciated.

Just happened to spot that linux-signed-i386 is still around (and
outdated) in testing+unstable, that probably can be cleaned up as
well at some point?


Cheers,

Yes, I'll open a bug for that.

This change is included in version 6.11-1~exp1 which I am uploading to
experimental now.
