Bug Description

Binary package hint: dphys-swapfile

ls -la /proc/kcore
-r-------- 1 root root 140737486266368 2010-05-06 10:41 /proc/kcore

of that size actually. the package got fixed in debian (-3), please sync it.
it's really bad when you install this during installation and your /var goes out of space,
since many programs won't work properly anymore.
