Package: src:linux Version: 3.11-1~exp1 Severity: important This virtual package serves little purpose. Debian continues to support chroot'd installations without a kernel, custom kernel packages and unpackaged kernels. The proper way to ensure that an up-to-date official kernel is installed is to install the appropriate metapackage (as d-i does).
Further, any level of dependency (Depends, Recommends or Suggests) on 'linux-image' prevents APT auto-removing any of the packages that provide it, making any use of the virtual package actually harmful.
