Bug#711108: linux-image-* should suggest linux-tools-*
tags 711108 + patch
thanks
Untested patch attached.
It may also be interesting to notice that apt already attempts to
prevent automatic removal of linux-tools matching an installed kernel,
but fails, since it assumes a version format which is no longer in use:
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove
