linux-image vs. kernel-image [was Re: Help With K7 Kernel]

Just a quick question related to the kernel packages:
Is the virtual package linux-image-* the thing to use instead of
kernel-image-*?

I noticed that linux-image isn't related to a specific kernel version
(kernel-image had the major and minor version from the kernel it would
install, e.g. kernel-image-2.6-k7 compared to linux-image-k7), from a
simplicity point-of-view this is a good thing!

Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
Keep Europe free from software patents, we do not want censorship
by patent law on written works.

Some operating systems are called 'user friendly', Linux however is
'expert friendly'.
