It would be quite easy to add this third column to the page *if* we
could use launchpadlib on the server to determine which pocket
(-release, -security, -updates, -proposed) the specific kernel version
is in.  Unfortunately launchpadlib isn't installed at the moment and
even then it seems that the server restricts outside communication.
I'll try to investigate possible alternatives, but no promises.
