can't build zaptel kernel modules (1.2.15~dfsg-1)

Binary package hint: zaptel-source

just upgraded from edgy to feisty, and apparently m-a can't find linux/config.h:

Please find hereafter a diff file that correct the problem.
All other file including <linux/config.h> seems to have been corrected in the same way.

Best regards.

Excellent, that patch worked. Thanks!

In case anyone else has the same problem, I removed
/usr/src/modules/zaptel, untarred zaptel.tar.bz2, applied the patch,
then re-created the zaptel.tar.bz2 file before re-running m-a. (I
couldn't see an easy way to get m-a to add this patch to the build.)

Status: confirmed

There is a similar bug in Debian (with patch):
