Task-lxde-desktop and task-xfce-desktop *break* with the kernel 4.3.5,
which i'm using currently. So, i removed those packages from my system.

And speaking of kernels, the kernel 4.5 builds successfully in jessie,
but it's impossible to build the minipackages for d-i because there are
a lot of them with common modules *.ko, as i explained in another
thread. This is due, i think, to the version of kernel-wedge and gcc.
The backports of jessie include gcc-5 and kernel-wedge-2.94 (in jessie,
the versions are gcc-4.9 and kernel-wedge-2.90).

But i never use any backport...

Cheers,

Aitor.
