Crash while upgrading kernel & stable releases

[Vincent Untz]

Hi,

I updated one of my Hoary computer yesterday and, unfortunately, it
crashed during the upgrade. What was really unfortunate, is that there
was a kernel upgrade. And what was even more unfortunate is that the
kernel version number was the same as the previous one. So it deleted
the old one...

As you can guess, the result was that the computer was unbootable (and
still is ;-)). I know the upgrade contains only security fixes, but I
believe the version number should have been incremented, if only to
prevent problems like this one. Wouldn't it make sense to adopt this
policy?
