Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

Dear Maintainer,

When dist-upgrading a system to jessie, or running dist-upgrade on a freshly
installed system (using the alpha 1 release of the installer), apt-get
removes the kernel. This results in there being no kernel installed, and
you can't exactly boot the system without a kernel, hence the severity.

Using aptitude reveals that freebsd-net-tools Breaks: kfreebsd-image-9

To reproduce:
Install Debian GNU/kFreeBSD jessie from tha alpha 1 netinstall cd.
Run apt-get dist-upgrade
Reboot

and you will be stuck with a grub prompt.

In case it matters, this bug was found running under a virtual machine (KVM).

Debian Release: jessie/sid
