[Bug 262783] [NEW] cannot install linux-image-2.6.27-1-server and linux-image-2.6.27-1-generic together

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image

In the process of bug 256316 I stumbled on the following:

$ sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.27-1-server_2.6.27-1.2_amd64.deb
Selecting previously deselected package linux-image-2.6.27-1-server.
(Reading database ... 203428 files and directories currently installed.)

Done.

Errors were encountered while processing:
 linux-image-2.6.27-1-server_2.6.27-1.2_amd64.deb

Now, if I'm not mistaken, the  linux-image-2.6.27-1-server and  linux-
image-2.6.27-1-generic packages should either be installable together,
or should be made aware that they conflict.
