package bcmwl-kernel-source 5.60.48.36+bdcom-0ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: bcmwl kernel module failed to build

[James Schriver]

Install the Maverick LTS Backports on Lucid and bcmwl-kernel-source fails to build against the backport. Probably not a bug as the newer bcmwl was updated for the newer kernels.
