Package: linux-patch-debian-2.6.14
Version: 2.6.14-4
Severity: minor

Hello,

I've just compiled a new kernel from
linux-patch-debian-2.6.14_2.6.14-4_all.deb, 
and  I noticed this includes the official patches 2.6.14.1 up to
2.6.14.3, except from the extraversion. So, by default the new kernel
will be called vmlinuz-2.6.14, possibly overriding a previous
2.6.14. Furthermore, it is difficult to tell which version you
run exactly. The fix is to run make-kpkg as:
make-kpkg  --added-patches debian --append-to-version ".3" kernel-image
 modules-image 

Is there some good reason to drop the EXTRAVERSION from official
patches ? Why not keep it, or even modify it as something like
".3-debian" so that a 'uname -a' will make clear that the actual
kernel is a 2.6.14, patched up to interim revision .3, and with
specific debian patches ?
