Merge branch 'benh/unversioned-perf' into 'master'
Remove perf wrappers, as linux-perf now provides an unversioned perf command
See merge request kernel-team/linux-base!6
commit fedb233bdfa025d7cf92d831edaab269ac2f518b

Remove perf wrappers, as linux-perf now provides an unversioned perf command
Starting with version 5.16.2-1~exp1, linux-perf is a normal package
containing an unversioned perf executable. It diverts our wrappers
to avoid conflicts.
We want to avoid the situation that linux-base is upgraded, removing
the perf wrappers, but users only have an old version of linux-perf
installed with a version-suffixed perf command.
A versioned Breaks will cause linux-perf to be upgraded first, which
will install the unversioned perf executable, bash completions, and
man page. When linux-base is upgraded the wrappers will be removed.
At no point will the perf command be missing.
This won't help users that installed e.g. linux-perf-5.10 without the
metapackage, but there's not much we can realistically do about that.
Closes: #983314, #990165

linux-version: Fix comparing of versions provided via stdin
Currently the trailing "\n" is used in comparisons. I found this when
comparing "5.8.0-50-generic" with "5.8.0-50-generic-64k". Since "\n"
sorts before "-", 5.8.0-50-generic was sorting greater. So, one day
short of the 10th anniversary of the last commit to this tool, I present
this fix. (Closes: #987851)
Note: flash-kernel uses stdin linux-version comparisons to determine if
the kernel is new enough to flash, so devices that use it would be impacted.
