There is now a version-script: stanza which lets you run something
which prints out the version instead.  So you could use that to set the
version to the version of the .deb linux-image you are going to download.
Note that you have to still supply a version: which is ignored (this
makes no sense and in testing I have set it to '-' without issue).
