Notice that i have adapted the powerpc kernels to copy the kernel-source
changelog into the kernel-image file, where it shows up as :

  changelog-kernel-source.Debian.gz

Maybe not the best naming scheme, but i believe we should make this a policy
as soon as possible, and include the kernel-source changelog always in the
kernel-images, so that there is no doubt of the above kind.
