Bug#260003: kernel-image-2.4-generic: too generic name



Package: kernel-image-2.4-generic

The package named kernel-image-2.4-generic is a generic Alpha kernel,
it's not a generic kernel.  Package names are global across
architectures, so monopolizing such a common name is kinda bad.  If you
could please rename the package to kernel-image-2.4-alpha-generic or
something like that, it would be nice.

Thanks to Colin Watson for first notifying me of this bug -- he saw a
possible clash with the kernel-image-2.6-generic that the AMD64 port
had.
