Thanks, Bastian. But, hmm, so in the future if the upstream version changes again to something like 3.4.32 the same will happen or the major version will stay? I am asking because since I have wheezy-backports I can also see linux-source-3.9 which as we can see is still - %d.%d (digit digit)
Maybe my solution is to check for both patterns - %d.%d.%d and if that fails for %d.%d? Thank you for your help. Borislav.
