The i386 packages have since been built and published.
Note that kernel source and binary packages can in general be out of
synch in LTS because:
- Most binaries are built from src:linux, but signed linux-image
packages and their metapackages are built from src:linux-signed-*.
- Uploaded packages are published almost immediately after upload (or
passing NEW). There's no additional gate that the LTS team can use for
synchronised release of multiple packages, as the security team has.
Please do not open additional bug reports for this.
Ben.
