[Phill Whiteside <PhillW@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Nio,

to quote

(12:32:52) darkxst: phillw, 3.10.0-4 is nasty!

It was an oversight that the alternate did not get the kernel on 23rd
(hence the desktops showing as 20130723.1 )   Thankfully you spotted it and
after a very quick chat with the release team we got the respin in in time.

Regards,

Phill.
