Bug#680194: rename Kernel-Packages to allow a less missleading uname -r output



Package: linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64
Version: 3.2.20-1

Currently breaks the naming of the kernel-packages in debian the
behaviour expected from uname following its manpage. So I would suggest
to rename the kernel-package to something less missleading, like
linux-image-3.2-abi[ABI_VERSION] or linux-image-3.2.x-[ABI_VERSION]. Or
maybe use the fullversion and copy the modules automatically during
postinst as long as the abi stays the same.

An output of uname -a / -r that follows the common standard is also
expected in the guidelines about reporting bugs against debian.
=> http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting mentions use / inclusion of
output of uname -a to give information about the currently used kernel
version, what is currently definitely wrong!!!

Linux somehost 3.2.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Jun 11 17:24:18 UTC 2012 x86_64
GNU/Linux

dpkg -s libc6 | grep ^Version
Version: 2.13-33

Florian
