I do not know enough details about the kernel flavors for a good
solution, but here are my alternatives:

a) We could have a special case in update-manager that checks
/proc/cpuinfo and based on what it reads (and what the kernel team
thinks is appropriate) switch users from linux-386 to linux-generic.

b) Make the linux-386 package a transitional package for linux-generic
and rename the current linux-386 to linux-legacy ( or -old or
-oldmachines ...).
