Hi.

Is there any specific reason that Debian kernel packages don't
include the minor versions (of the kernel) in the respective
fields, such that e.g. uname doesn't show it:
$ uname -a
Linux heisenberg 3.8-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.8.11-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux

vs.

$ apt-cache show linux-image-3.8-1-amd64 | grep ^Version
Version: 3.8.12-1

IMHO, that would be quite useful.

Cheers,
Chris.
