------- Additional Comments From fabbione at ubuntu.com  2005-06-20 17:42 UTC -------
Unfortunatly the proposed solutions to add extra versions to the name are no go
for several reasons that will make security updates a real pain for everybody.
Starting from the extra amount of packages that will require an upload to get
all the bits in the place and the pain of a reboot each time there is a fix
that might not even hit the user that is upgrading.

Also the meta package already exists and it is there to pull automatically always
the latest kernel.
