[Bug 90272] Recommends lacks generic kernel

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mindi

Currently the recommends line in debian/control contains:
linux-amd64-generic | linux-386 | linux-powerpc

I would like to propose adding the others, so that nobody would be
surprised to find a new kernel installing (as I just did) if they use
aptitude without -R, assuming the package doesn't actually need 386 for
some odd reason (I don't know).  So, perhaps:

linux-amd64-generic | linux-386 | linux-powerpc | linux-686 | linux-
generic | linux-server | linux-server-bigiron | linux-686-smp | linux-
amd64-k8 | linux-amd64-k8-smp | linux-amd64-server | linux-amd64-xeon |
linux-k7 | linux-k7-smp | linux-power3 | linux-power3-smp | linux-power4
| linux-power4-smp  | linux-powerpc-smp | linux-powerpc64-smp

would be the appropriate line for Dapper, and the much simpler:

linux-generic | linux-386 | linux-server | linux-powerpc | linux-
powerpc-smp | linux-powerpc64-smp | linux-ps3 | linux-server-bigiron

for Feisty and newer
