Hi *,

I just want to do some tests with kernels in "stretch" and therefore
was looking for packet "kernel-package".

But 
	apt install kernel-package
leads to 
	E: Package 'kernel-package' has no installation candidate

Is this a bug or is kernel building in stretch different to jessie?

It's a bug. The package tracker page for kernel-package
<https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/kernel-package> states that the package
was removed from strech because the new version introduced a new,
serious-level bug: #848066. The bug was not fixed in time for the
release, so the package was dropped (it's still in unstable, though, so
it may return for buster).


Thanks,

Karsten
