I appear to have everything working except for metapackage creation on
dapper. "equivs-build --arch=blah foo.equivs" seems to do the wrong
thing on dapper; although the --arch option is documented in the man
page, equivs-build creates an "Architecture: all" .deb anyway.
My inclination is to disable metapackage creation on dapper and call
it a day. I can't think of any other workaround short of synthesizing
the metapackages the hard way (creating a debian/rules,
debian/control, etc. and running dpkg-buildpackage). My understanding
is that there are few or no Dapper users of Debathena, so leaving them
in the current state (must manually get openafs-modules after
upgrading kernel) is probably not a big deal.
