Hi,

Could not find the proper person hence putting it in general mailing
list, A file named "REPORTING-BUGS" is missing in the current release
of the linux kernel i.e. v4.11.

I found this is when using debian tools to compile a latest release
using command,

"fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --revision=1.0.AN kernel_image kernel_headers -j 4"

The error i received was,

"install -p -o root -g root -m 644 REPORTING-BUGS
/home/anilnair/linux-kernel/linux-stable/debian/linux-headers-4.11.0anilnair-07650-ga1be8ed-dirty/usr/share/doc/linux-headers-4.11.0anilnair-07650-ga1be8ed-dirty/

make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/anilnair/linux-kernel/linux-stable'
debian/ruleset/local.mk:102: recipe for target 'kernel_headers' failed

Though I could find the same file in linux kernel v4.8.6.
