This needs some thought as it is only sensible for the backports kernels.
If we apply this generally we will rename the linux-image- packages for
the arm and ec2 branches which was a big issue for the installer etc when
we introduced those initially.  To fix it there we moved to a different
ABI number to introduce the version separation.

I also think this also introduces an issue that we have
/lib/modules/2.6.34-1-generic owned by linux-imaverick-image-* and also
in linux-image-* on upgrade.

In this context I think the only issue is the collision of versions in
the archive.  For other packages the common case is to use a version
suffix on the older release.  If I have understood things correctly
just adding a ~lucid1 suffix would be sufficient to differentiate them
to the archive and allow upgrades to succeed as the package would be the
same name and an updgradable version number.

Thoughts?
