[Debian] Re: Debian OVZ kernel versioning

[Vasily Tarasov]

Ughhh... Then name like
linux-image-2.6.18-openvz-12-1-486-028.18.1etch1_028.18.1etch1_i386.deb
is really terrible. So, if there is no more way, let's keep versioning
as is. I will better look at Debian archive each time.

Thanks,
Vasily.
