Package: release-notes
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

Hello,

the kernel package has been renamed from kernel-image-* into linux-image-*.
But there is no depandancy between kernel-image-* and linux-image-* (see
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=377228 ).
So when upgrading from Sarge to Etch, linux-image is not selected for 
install by
aptitude dist-upgrade
But udev is selected for upgrade and would be downloaded.
But udev 0.93 depends on kernel >= 2.6.15 which is not in Sarge nor selected to
be installed. So aptitude stops.
Without the information that the kernel package is now named linux-image
the system can't be repaired and further calls of aptitude makes the problem 
even worse. For example, aptitude would uninstall aptitude.

The Release Notes already covers the name change for Linux kernel packages,
please see
http://www.debian.org/releases/etch/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#s-newkernel
(this information used to be in the Debian Kernel's release notes for etch
and was merge some time ago)

If you consider something is still missing there please reopen the bug and
provide more information.

Thanks

Javier
