btw: "apt-cache pkgnames" should have better/quicker result than
searching.

Don't know what that goldfish is nor am I particular interested in
cloud, but I guess they could be added if there is need/interest. Its
not like there is any real cost attached to it and false positives are
pretty unlikely with the kernel versions attached… in the case of
goldfish it seems to be unneeded through as they have "normally" named
images/headers packages, too, which depend on the strange ones, so the
autoremover wouldn't kick in anyhow for those.

kfreebsd, gnumach (= hurd) do not share the same version, they do share
the kernel postinst scripts which apt is using here through, so even
through they use entirely different version schemes, its still a version
we can work with. Excluding specific items depending on the architecture
we built apt for would be possible, but not really worth the
implementation effort I presume.

And yes, -modules/-kernel is for out-of-tree modules as created by
module-assistant (from -source packages), but I think dkms can built
packages, too, and its the naming scheme which tends to be used for
packages for modules which happen to be distributable as binary builds…
(not that there would be many).
