Hello Jeremy,
This renaming of the packages is correct. As documented in bug 1764794,
we have switched our packaging to ship a signed linux image (for UEFI
Secure Boot) with the linux-image package, in contrast to having a
linux-image-signed package as before. In order to implement this, we had
to remove all the modules from the linux-image package. These modules
are now shipped by the linux-modules package, and the old linux-image-
extra has been renamed to linux-modules-extra.
In order to avoid issues when manually installing the kernel image and
modules packages, we recommend installing the meta package (e.g. linux-
generic or linux-image-generic) that will install the right version of
the packages.
I will mark this bug report as 'Invalid' given that it's the expected
behavior now. But please feel free to contact us if you have any further
question.
Thank you.
