Is it too late or too much work to update in a point release too? It seems that d-i's sarge/packages/base-installer/debian/postinst function get_arch_kernel returns a metapackage name for most archs but that information is perhaps lost somewhere in the quite complicated processing of pick_kernel and install_kernel. Even sarge/packages/rootskel/debian/templates-arch fallback for debian-installer/kernel/image[-2.6] selection could perhaps be a metapackage name if - as it seems - it's only fed to apt-get (after checkin that matches an available package name, of course). > > If this is just a sarge thing, could linux-image-2.6-[386...] be > > installed by default in etch? > > It is.
