The upshot of these change requests are:

1) The Linaro kernel meta package source name is changing from 
linux-linaro-meta to linux-meta-linaro.

2) The meta package binary names are changing from linux-linaro-image* 
to linux-image-linaro*. Similarly for headers packages, e.g., 
linux-linaro-headers* to linux-headers-linaro*

If you are a consumer of Linaro ARM images _and_ you are planning an 
upgrade, then this _will_ affect you. If you are installing images from 
scratch after this change is implemented, then you're likely OK.

This change will definitely require a change in the installer.
