apparently herbert screwed up somewhere ;)
roach:~> apt-cache show kernel-image-2.2.17 | grep Version:
Version: 1:2.2.17-1
to quote from /usr/doc/kernel-package/README.gz,
"I fear, though, that with the introduction of epochs in kernel
image versions shame has entered the garden of eden, and we must
forever use epochs to guard against forced upgrades."
ie: make it 1:willow.1, or just 9:willow.1 and be done with it.
