well, it still needs to know how to generate the canonical-pi2-linux
snap first ... if that info can be obtained from the gadget snap the
build system would need to know how to obtain that snap and how to
extract the necessary info from it (vs using a name that has been used
in former stages and can just be handed through from stage to stage
like we do everywhere else up to today).

as i said before that only becomes a prob in larger scale, i'm not sure
how many officially supported sub-arches we plan to have in the future.

alternatively we could indeed rename the kernel packages and have them
have the right name from the start (though i imagine that will cause a
lot of probs for -generic which is used in other context everywhere in
the distro)
