Description:
I'm delighted to see aufs has made it into extra, but the module is being installed in
/lib/modules/2.6.23-ARCH/fs/aufs
(In my opinion) it should be
/lib/modules/2.6.23-ARCH/kernel/fs/aufs

Also I would be very grateful if the dependency on aufs-utils could be removed, as it is not actually a dependency - aufs works fine without it.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
20071017-3

This task depends upon

I may have been a little hasty here and jumping to false conclusions - I could also understand the logic of
/lib/modules/2.6.23-ARCH/fs/aufs

Next time I will try to follow the crustimoney proseedcake:
1) Think
2) Sleep on it
3) If unsure, ask on the mailing list
4) Post a bug report

But even if the package is otherwise fine it would still be nice to have the dependency on aufs-utils removed.
