Hi, ...
these packages (in fact all the kernel-image-* packages) are now only
meta-packages pointing at the right packages (linux-image-*) and used for
backward compatibility. As thus, i believe, but am no expert, that the
linux-image-* packages will stay at priority optional or something, and the
new compatibility packages have a downgraded priority.
So, it would be meaningful to either change the override file, or comment to
us what the right priority should be.
<disclaimer> priorities are rather neboulous to me, i am just a bit bored to
see this mail at each upload since 2.6.12 now :) </disclaimer>
