I don't think we actually use the 2.6 m68k kernels in d-i yet, only 2.4
(and 2.2 for some aubarches).

The downside of not includeing an abiname in the package name is that
past d-i releases will break once the updated kernels and udebs reach
testing.

We will need to rebuild that package once the new kernel is uploaded,
yes.
