I reviewed base-installer for use of kernel-image-2.6.* metapackages. It's still used by amd64, arm, m68k, mips, and mipsel: joey@dragon:~/src/d-i/packages/base-installer/kernel>grep kernel-image * alpha.sh: echo "kernel-image-$version-$SMP" amd64.sh: echo "kernel-image-$KERNEL_MAJOR-amd64-k8$SMP" amd64.sh: echo "kernel-image-$KERNEL_MAJOR-em64t-p4$SMP" amd64.sh: echo "kernel-image-$KERNEL_MAJOR-amd64-generic" arm.sh: echo "kernel-image-$KERNEL_VERSION-$1" i386.sh: echo "kernel-image-$KERNEL_VERSION-speakup" i386.sh: imgbase=kernel-image m68k.sh: echo "kernel-image-$version-$1" mips.sh: echo "kernel-image-$version-$1" mipsel.sh: echo "kernel-image-$version-$1" powerpc.sh: apus) trykernel=kernel-image-$apusversion-apus ;; powerpc.sh: echo "kernel-image-$KERNEL_MAJOR-$1$SMP" s390.sh: echo "kernel-image-$KERNEL_ABI-s390" sparc.sh: imgbase=kernel-image i386, alpha, s390, sparc, powerpc only use it for 2.4 kernels. It's also used for hppa in the base-installer/kernel/image-2.6 template. Removal of the packages will also make the following kernel udeb packages FTBFS: m68k-2.6, sparc-2.6. -- see shy jo
