This is how it works:

- The 'linux-latest' source package is built for a specific Linux ABI
version (currently, 4.7.0-1)
- It builds a meta-package for each of the kernel configurations
enabled for that version, which no longer includes the 'rt-amd64'
configuration
- The FTP team periodically removes binary packages that are not built
by the latest version of a source package ('decrufting')
