Perhaps it is a good idea to have a distribution specific default kernel
virtual package, maybe for different streams, but preferrrable not.
linux-image-woody-i386
or
linux-image-woody-i386-2.4
Where we gurantee updates as long as the distribution is supported. I am not
sure if it makes sence, since we have quite a few kernel package flavours.
