The system boots fine if you select the new (-3-) kernel manually, so I
would think that it would also boot fine if you edit grub's config file.

There seems to be a bug in some compare_version() function that is used
by in the update-grub process to determine which kernel is newer than
the other. It should special-case -trunk- as well, as it does for rc,
pre, test IIRC.

If someone could give me a pointer where I can find the source code for
that functionality, i'll try to come up with a patch and file a bug
against the applicable package.
