Package linux-image for Debian Ports



I've been running Debian unstable on a number of PPC and PPC64 machines for the past few months. After the transition of the of PPC from the main Debian archive to Debian Ports, I'm no longer receiving updated kernel images. 

[user]@[machine]:~$ uname -r

4.16.0-2-powerpc-smp

[user]@[machine]:~$ sudo apt install linux-image

Package linux-image is not available, but is referred to by another package.

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

is only available from another source


E: Package 'linux-image' has no installation candidate


Here is my sources.list file

[user]@[machine]:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list

# Binary Default

deb http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/ unstable main

deb http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/ unreleased main

deb http://incoming.ports.debian.org/buildd/ unstable main


# Package Source

deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main


# Non-free firmware

deb [arch=all] http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free


Am I possibly missing something here? The newer linux-headers are downloaded and installed as they become available. Do we now just build our own updated kernels? That's fine by me, but wanted to check to see if it wasn't something I was simply overlooking.


Thanks,

Brock
