Kernel Header and Image Naming Convention

Hello:

I suggest that the kernel header and image naming convention should follow
suite with Kernel.org naming convention.  Currently all official Ubuntu
kernel headers and images only follow major release naming and do not
reflect point release (e.g. Raring is currently at 3.8.0-18).  I propose
that kernels headers and images should be named in this fashion:
0.1 - Release candidates (e.g. 3.8.0.1 = 3.8 RC1)
0 - Stable release (e.g. 3.8.0 = 3.8.0)
1 - Stable point release (e.g. 3.8.1 = 3.8.1)

Please consider this proposal for added clarity and accuracy as well as
standardization across the Linux computing community.

Thank you for your consideration!

Travis
