Package: apt-dater
Version: 0.9.0-8
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
apt-dater-host tries to find out in do_kernel() whether the running kernel is
(a) Debian's or custom, and
(b) current or obsoleted by a newer installed version.
Both checks no longer work correctly after I updated my servers to jessie, due
to slight
changes in its linux-image-* packages.
The effect is that every machine is detected as running a custom kernel.
This patch solves problem (a)

Please consider fixing this bug in an update to jessie!
