Is there no resolution?  Is nobody taking ownership of this conflict?

I'm running Debian as a "testing" installation with the simple packages
        linux-image-2.6-686-smp
        cmucl
So for cmucl I get version 19c-release-20051115-2.  But the linux image for
2.6 recently upgraded in testing to 2.6.16-2-686-smp.  And of course cmucl
now fails to start with
        Couldn't mmap at 0xbe000000, len 1048576; got mapping at 0xa7cfe000
        insteadensure_space: Failed to validate 1048576 bytes at 0xbe000000

So what's the current status?  CMUCL is WONTFIX, and the kernel folks claim
the same thing?  Nobody cares that the application and the kernel are no
longer compatible?

At the very least, surely this means that the Debian CMUCL now needs some
kind of new "Required:" package, to document that it is not (and will not be)
compatible with the default 2.6 kernel.
