I had thought the introduction of linux-image terminology was a replacement
for kernel-image terminology in order to provide name-space for hurd images.
Is there really more than a change in naming convention between kernel-image
and linux-image? I think that someone running Sarge cannot be running
linux-image, as there are no kernel packages of whatever version number in
sarge that have the 'linux-image' designation.
