Questions about LTS backports to Hardy

Hi,

I'm working on backporting recent kernels to LTS releases such as Hardy.

https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/kernel-karmic-new-kernel-on-lts

I'm wondering if I should create a new Hardy meta package, e.g.,
linux-meta-2.6.28_2.6.28* ?  The package that users would be instructed
to install would then be of the form:

linux-image-server-2.6.28_2.6.28*${arch}.deb

which would obviously pull in the dependent kernel packages.

Does this make sense?
