Public bug reported:
We install kernels as expressed by linux by installation of packages
from linux-meta based on the flavour names. It is not entirely trivial
to map the source package name to a flavour, it becomes doubly hard when
we have variants applied and the primary variant is not in this package.
For example when linux-oracle is expressing -lts-18.04 only and linux-
oracle-5.0 is expressing -- we end up installing linux-image-oracle for
both packages and only test the latter one.
Add new Provides to the appropriate meta packages so we can always
directly select an appropriate meta package without knowing its name:
Package: linux-oracle-lts-18.04
Provides: kernel-testing--linux-oracle--full--oracle
We should also include a preferred option for ADT as it also is unaware
that the kernel package could actually emit more than one kernel
flavour.
Package: linux-generic-hwe-18.04-edge
Provides: kernel-testing--linux-hwe-5.3--full--generic,
kernel-testing--linux-hwe-5.3--full--preferred
