[Bug 486616] [NEW] getting backport packages for some kernel modules

 

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu provides some backport packages for the kernel to ensure some
last minute fixes are available.

A typical example is linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic, which
gives a fresh alsa that contains a lot of fixes for macbook (for example
the non working headphone jack, which is kind of a pain to not have
during workshops).

Could we have a similar system, or port their backports to the pure
kernel??? That would be really handy.
