[V2: fix error in generic-pae update affecting alsa instead of wireless, DOH!]

It seems that when the new compat-wireless-2.6.36/37 support was pulled in
the old linux-backports-wireless binary package was renamed and new meta
packages were introduced to track ABI.  However these new meta packages
were only added for -generic and -server; -generic-pae was missed.
Secondly the old linux-backports-modules-wireless meta packages were left
and now point to a non-existant package triggering upgrade issues.

To allow upgraders to transition across this rename we should
point the old meta package at the coresponding version of
linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless; which I believe was 2.6.36.

Following this email are two patches, one to add the -generic-pae meta packages
for the compat-wireless packages, the other to convert the existing
wireless meta packages into transitional packages to the new names.

For SRU to Maverick.
