Bug#1060109: apt - Please support new kernel release test

[Bastian Blank <waldi@debian.org>]

Package: apt
Version: 2.7.7
Severity: wishlist

As discussed around #1040901, we need an alternative way to correlate
between package and kernel.  In apt this directly affects how
APT::VersionedKernelPackages works, which cares about which package
could match the current running kernel.

How it should look like is still undecided.  The initial idea does:

  Kernel-Release: linux 6.6.1-

Aka $(uname -m), lower cased and only [a-z0-9-].  And a prefix of
$(uname -r).

But for some reason I'm now at:

  Kernel-Provides: linux (~~ 6.6.1-)

Same semantic, re-using dependencies parser with a not yet used
operation.
