Hi Simon,

It's here:

https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/kernel?view=revision&revision=22722

I don't know if the exact numbering scheme is documented but I believe
the number embedded in the binary package name is the ABI version, so
rather than being any particular kernel version it represents a range of
kernel versions that have a compatible ABI.

I think the package version number includes the upstream kernel version
and Debian packaging version, separated by a hyphen.

Each Debian changelog entry can mention more than one upstream version,
so although it might refer to "ChangeLog-4.0.3" near the top, lower down
you can also find "ChangeLog-4.0.4".
