I am running Alpha-4 and at boot it DOES show 2 flavors of .27:

Ubuntu intrepid (development branch), kernel 2.6.27-2-generic
and
Ubuntu intrepid (development branch), kernel 2.6.27-1-generic

They both came in on "regular" updates - I didn't do anything
special.  Perhaps it's because my "Software Sources" is set for
darn near everything - proposed, backports, etc.  Although I
wouldn't run a main system this way, it doesn't make any sense
to not have those sources on a test system.  Why test anything
but the latest?  That could cause you to file bug reports against
fixed bugs and waste everyones time.
