I understand how this is supposed to work, but it seems it disregards
new installations.

Fact is I cannot install linux-image-2.6-amd64 at the moment, because
the old "real" kernel package was removed from the archive, regardless
that there is no conflict with the new one. At install time I have to
know the exact name of the current kernel package, which is very
painful for scripting.
