Public bug reported:
[Impact]
For derivative kernels we reset the upload number to 1 when bumping the
ABI. For the meta packages we just continue to increment the upload
number. This at best looks odd and at worst may result in some
confusion.
Update the scripting in linux-meta to likewise reset the upload number
whenever its derivative kernel has done an ABI bump.
[Test Case]
When preparing a derivative meta package, note that an ABI bump results
in the upload number being reset to 1, while subsequent uploads using
the same ABI result in incrementing the upload number.
[Where problems could occur]
This change affects only preparation of derivative meta packages. Bugs
could result in having an unexpected upload number in the package
version, but any such mistakes should be caught when reviewing package
changes prior to upload.
