Then please explain why. The kernel's version is 3.0, not 3.0.0. Once
there is 3.0.X, do you want to introduce new linux-image-3.0.X-*
packages every few weeks? There appears to be no reason for using 3.0.0,
upstream uses 3.0, others use 3.0, so why deviate?
If you are worried about userspace compatibility, then those are bugs
and have to be fixed elsewhere (and the kernel packages changed
afterwards).
