please pay attention.
nobody (at least as far as i can tell) has suggested getting rid of the
stock kernel-image package, so there will be no effect at all on people
who just want to install the system and run it.
the point at issue is whether there should be dozens of kernel-image and
kernel-headers packages when one is enough to do the job.
