Hi.

(Sorry if this is already reported, last time I looked at the bug page
I didn't find anything similar).

Is there any chance to remove the leading .0 from the binary package
names?

I know it's mostly harmless, but it's misleading anyway to have
linux-image-4.8.0-2-amd64 to really contain 4.8.11 and not 4.8.0.

If it's done for compatibility reasons with kernel-package, I've heard
that's not anymore the preferred way to build .deb for the kernel.

Thanks.
