I hadn't noticed that the Packages files weren't being updated.  Ian,
can you look into this?

I posted a message a little while ago, describing the problems with
the packages that I moved into the HOLD directory.  The problem with
the new kernel packages is that they don't "provide" the old package
names (image and source).  Maybe they aren't supposed to, but I wasn't
sure.
