    Summary: Update kernel and modules
    Description: 
    This package contains a script to conveniently update
    kernel and modules.
    
    It works by installing a new package set along with existing kernel
    so that you don't end up without a kernel guaranteed to boot (your
    good old one); by default, it will look for the most recent package
    of the same flavour (e.g. "std-def") and try to install all the same
    modules as already installed for that.

    - update-kernel: fixed in the presence of disttags in package IDs
      printed by APT (apt-cache pkgnames).

    - remove-old-kernels: APT invocation (to remove installed pkgs) rewritten in
