My interpretation of what Moritz said is that this would be necessary
so we can have both the 2.6.32 derived kernel in squeeze-lts and
a backport of the wheezy kernel. They will serve different purposes
and should indeed coexist, which means they need different source
package names.

(and yes, this is much better than having a separate 'nhalf' kernel
as per my original suggestion).

Cheers,
Dominic.
