[11:19] <bkw> Hello, I have users claiming that the recent mainline ppa kernel packages are missing libc6 >= 2.33 dependency, such that they allow themselves to install on systems with libc6 < 2.33.

[14:53] <juergh> apw, ^^
[14:57] <apw> bkw, the main kernel should not have dependencies, the headers should
[14:58] <juergh> apw, the newer kernel are built using a groovy chroot when we claim to use the previous LTS.
[15:01] <apw> juergh, the write up is out of date as much as anything.  since a large number of options are now compiler specific we need tighter integration between the configuration we pick for the mainline kernel and the userspace it builds in
[15:05] <apw> these are not general use kernels, they are for debugging
[15:06] <apw> we might be able to come up with a config "patch" to retrograde some options to make an older lts work, but it would take effort.
