Maybe one of the Debian users on this list can help me understand something about the kernels offered on the unstable branch. Specifically, I have a question about 2.4.x kernels. There are two 2.4.x kernels available there, and I'm trying to understand the difference between them. One is listed as kernel-image-2.4-(CPUarchitecture), while the other is listed as kernel-image-2.4.22-1-(CPUarchitecture). It's clear what the second one is, but what's the first in relation to it? Is it the 2.4.0 kernel?
Try "apt-cache show" on one of the "kernel-image-2.4-(CPUarchitecture)" packages. You'll see that the description says it is a wrapper package that always points (via a dependency) to the corresponding "kernel-image-2.4.*-*-(CPUarchitecture)" package (currently a "kernel-image-2.4.22-1-(CPUarchitecture)" package).
