Yes, I agree. I changed the name of the source.tar.gz file to
kernel-source.tar.gz a while back. Ian was going to add a "Replaces:" field
to the dpkg control file that would facilitate package renaming. Once this is
widely deployed, Simon can rename them to kernel-image, kernel-source, and
kernel-includes.
