Bug#1104793: Consistent naming with LTS-backported kernels

[Christopher Huhn <C.Huhn@gsi.de>]

Source: linux
Severity: wishlist

Hi y'all

LTS and ELTS provide backports of the stable kernel for all releases 
(currently Stretch to Bullseye). These packages come with
linux-<component>-<major>.<minor>-<flavor> meta-packages eg.
linux-image-6.1-amd64.
This is a very nice feature making it possible to run the same kernel 
version on a whole fleet of nodes with diverse Debian releases by 
installing a uniformly named package.

Unfortunately no such packages exist in Debian stable at the moment.

So I'd propose that linux-<component>-<flavor> always also
> Provides: linux-<component>-<major>.<minor>-<flavor>

Cheers

Christopher
