[Bug 1905357] [NEW] casper autopkgtest failure with linux 5.8.0.30.32+21.04.34

[Andrea Righi]

Public bug reported:

The latest kernel in hirsute is going to be 5.8.0.30.32+21.04.34. With
this kernel installed the autopkgtest for casper is failing with the
following error:

  qemu: could not open kernel file
'/boot/vmlinu*-5.8.0.30.32+21-04-generic': No such file or directory

The reason is that the "+21.04.34" sub-string in the kernel version
isn't handled properly and it should be stripped off to determine the
kernel file to use in /boot.

We should probably strip off everything after the "+" from the kernel
version string, to properly support kernels that use this particular
version format.
