It can also package the relevant kernel headers into a kernel-headers package. In general, this package is very useful if you need to create a custom kernel, if, for example, the default kernel does not support some of your hardware, or you wish a leaner, meaner kernel. It also scripts the steps that need be taken to compile the kernel, which is quite convenient (forgetting a crucial step once was the initial motivation for this package). Please look at /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/Rationale for a full list of advantages of this package. Package: kernel-common Architecture: all Depends: ${misc:Depends} Suggests: kernel-package Enhances: kernel-package, linux-image Replaces: kernel-package (<= 13.008) Description: common elements for generated kernel packages This package provides the common elements that are useful for the package generated by kernel-package, but which may be installed on machines that kernel-package is not itself installed on, for instance, manual pages pertaining to the kernel image packages . It also contains example scripts that may be use when installed in /etc/kernel/*.d directories, to take action when the kernel image or header packages are installed.
