+This file is a place holder for the kernel-syms{,-rt} package. It is used
+to group build dependencies for all kernel flavors.
+
+The KMP build process will build KMPs against all installed kernel flavors
+automatically. If you don't need to build against other flavors than the
+ones you've already installed - it is safe to uninstall this package.
