Umm. These don't seem to be packages generated by
kernel-package, so there is something else that is going on.

Again, these are not image package names that can be generated
using kernel-package. Perhaps I should pipe down, in that case,
since I have no idea of the mechanism involved in creating these.

If kernel-package had been used, then these packages would not
have been created by two different source packages -- partof the
design decisions taken for kernel-package.

make-kpkg does not do any of these packages, so you need to
figure out how to change whatever mechanism is being used to create
them.

I must say I am disappointed in the new kernel image
management; Herbert used to keep kernel-package in the loop when
making changes, and tus there was no disconnect between user-created
packages and Debian official packages. From what I can tell in this
exchange, that is no longer the case.
