Why in the heck isn't there a:
kernel-source-latest, which is upgraded whenever a new kernel source package
comes out, and depends on that, and a
kernel-source-latest-only, which depends on kernel-source-latest and
conflicts with earlier kernel-source packages?
Doing the same for kernel-images would result in an explosion of
kernel-image-* packages in the archive, so maybe just do it for the source.
Only two extra packages.
