Bug#276988: kernel-image-2.6-amd64-generic: not intuitive package description
That sounds reasonable to me, although I believe that the detailed
deiscription for the packages do contain sufficient information
to make a decision.
Could you please make a patch against the (attached) control file
for consideration.
Thanks

Description: Linux kernel image for version 2.6.8 on AMD64 systems
This package contains the Linux kernel image for version 2.6.8 on
AMD Athlon64, Athlon FX and Opteron, the corresponding System.map file,
and the modules built by the packager. It also contains scripts that try
to ensure that the system is not left in a unbootable state after an update.
.
If you wish to update a bootdisk, or to use a bootloader to make
installing and using the image easier, we suggest you install the latest
fdutils (for formatting a floppy to be used as boot disk), and LILO, for a
powerful bootloader. Of course, both these are optional.
.
Kernel image packages are generally produced using kernel-package,
and it is suggested that you install that package if you wish to
create a custom kernel from the sources.
