Well, if an ABI has been added for the security update in the kernel 
packages we will of course follow that. But Joey tells me that we cannot 
add an ABI for udebs if the kernel image package does not have it.

As we have to rebuild d-i for all arches and thus subarches anyway, it 
seems unlogical not to take along any security updates that have been 
released for kernel packages.
