Replacing kernel packages via apt

[Patrick Ohly <Patrick.Ohly@pallas.com>]

Hi,

I have built a patched kernel 2.4.18 with
make-kpkg --initrd --revision=3:pallas.2.1 kernel_image kernel_headers
kernel_doc

I generated a Package.gz and changed the sources.list so that
apt-get correctly finds my kernel-image-2.4.18 with revision
pallas.2.1.

I used epochs, just to be sure, but still e.g. kernel-headers-2.4.18
with revision 2.4.18-5 (the original one from Debian) is not replaced
by apt-get with the (in my opinion) more recent pallas.2.1:
"apt-get install kernel-headers-2.4.18" insists that the installed
2.4.18-5 is the most recent one, and dselect also shows this
version under "available".

After I installed my own package with dpkg, dselect changes its mind
and says that my pallas.2.1 is "available", and "apt-get --reinstall
install kernel-headers-2.4.18" will also use my own version.

Any idea why? Of course I could use "dpkg -i" as a workaround, but
I'd like to understand the problem.
