Also the description of e.g. linux-tools-6.8.0-86-generic is not ideal since it is identical to the one of linux-tools-6.8.0-86:
$ apt-cache show linux-tools-6.8.0-86-generic <snip> Description-en: Linux kernel version specific tools for version 6.8.0-86 $ apt-cache show linux-tools-6.8.0-86 <snip> Description-en: Linux kernel version specific tools for version 6.8.0-86 I am attaching a patch for this as well, adding the "flavour" (-generic in this case) to the description. This makes the Description line fairly long, I don't know if some linters will complain (more). In that case I'd suggest removing the second instance of the word "version" which is redundant. ** Patch added: "0002-UBUNTU-Debian-Correct-tools-package-description.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2126795/+attachment/5915042/+files/0002-UBUNTU-Debian-Correct-tools-package-description.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2126795 Title: linux-modules-* package description says "extra" Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Mildly confusing when the description that shows up in Software Updater is identical to the one from the linux-modules-extra-* package.
