Yes, I'd rather see us keep the metapackages bundled in linux-2.6.16.
The fewer packages that have to be updated for a security update, the
better.
Of course, I do see the benefit to Bastian's suggestion - we'd have
working metapackages for both sid & etch that pull in the latest
available in that dist. My proposal leaves sid meta packages pointing
at the latest kernel for etch.
At minimum I want to make sure linux-latest-2.6 is a single source
packages - not per-arch. Building all of these packages for sarge
abi-changing updates sucks.
