Afaict these meta packages were formerly generated from the latest
real kernel-image package, e.g. kernel-image-2.4.26-i386 but are now
provided from a separate source-package, which only generates the
meta-packages.
The new kernel-image-2.4.27-i386 without the metapackages has
propagated to sarge, but the new meta-only package
kernel-latest-2.4-i386 has not (yet).
---------------
Source: kernel-image-2.4.27-i386
Architecture: source i386
Version: 2.4.27-2
Distribution: unstable
Urgency: high
kernel-image-2.4.27-i386 (2.4.27-2) unstable; urgency=high
[...]
* Nuke the metapackages - now provided by kernel-latest-2.4-i386.
---------------
---------------
kernel-latest-2.4-i386 (100) unstable; urgency=low
* Created this package for meta packages that had
previously been provided by kernel-image-2.4.XX-i386
- This is to allow kernel-image packages for multiple
upstream kernel versions to co-exist.
- Initial version is 100, as previous versions of
the meta packages are already in the archive.
