I think the question here is what the `uname -r` bit should be.
Specifically the $FLAVOUR in 3.x.y-z-$FLAVOUR.

I think there is an argument for making the multiplatform case be the
default "no-flavour flavour" i.e. $FLAVOUR is armhf/arm64 etc. Or maybe
that's what you are suggesting having not realised that `uname -r`
currently includes the -$FLAVOUR suffix. Hrm, I think we may actually be
talking about the same thing ;-)
