Please explain what you mean by that.
(Of course I am aware what list I am posting to, but I hadn't
expected that using Debian blocks the view to the outside world. I am
not going to memorise thousands of .deb-package names and recognise
them as Debian packages, it's simply not worth the time or the
trouble. So, referring to a Debian package makes a lot more sense to
your readers if you'd use some naming convention, like <kernel-source-
*.deb> or "kernel-source-*.deb", including the quotation marks. It
saves me from asking what it is you mean, and you can leave the
pointed referral to our frame of reference out of the discussion.)
