Hmm. Could we not be a little bit smarter and include only those udebs
on a CD for which we have kernels on the CD?
I would guess we should be able to automate that in some way.
IMHO it would be good if we could leave the 'old' version of udebs on the
mirrors a bit longer than currently.
That would also reduce the amount of installation failures by people who
use a installer version that uses the previous version of the kernel.
