Thanks for checking, and no problem.  Incidentally the package name
doesn't necessarily change for all _internal_ ABI changes, even in
stable: <http://bugs.debian.org/607368>.

This is clearly not perfect, but it's the best way to juggle the
various relevant variables we know of for the moment.  Longer term, it
would be better to change the package name with each upstream version
change, which will presumably require package manager changes to avoid
too many kernels accumulating[*].

Regards,
Jonathan
