Anyone know why kernel-source-2.6.x was renamed to linux-source-2.6.x

If I had to hazard a guess it is because Debian has other projects (Hurd,
BSD) which have kernels which are not the Linux kernel.
Yep!
In the thread entitled 'Re: Debian kernel source and compiler' here
(dated Sat 23 Jul 2005) on this list:
There is a longish thread on the debian-kernel list entitled '2.6.12
upload' which seems to contain
the answers to most of your questions. .... If you are an expert
google searcher, I guess you should be able to
retrieve this thread and others.
The linux-source-* is the new convention because hurd will be a future
choice for those who want
to run hurd instead of/(in addition to?) linux. I guess hurd-source-*
will let the user know what
is actually there.
I'll forward the 2 pertinent messages to you offlist if it suits your
pleasure. But they're on the Debian Kernel
mailing list. I wasn't able to make Google retrieve them neatly so I
suppose a better Googler will have to
volunteer.
