NOTES:
======
ABI versions, package versions and package name:
------------------------------------------------
We follow debian's versioning w.r.t ABI changes:
https://kernel-team.pages.debian.net/kernel-handbook/ch-versions.html
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernelABIChanges
The debian/rules file has a target comparing the build kernel's ABI against the
version stored in the repository and indicates when an ABI bump is necessary.
An ABI bump within one upstream version consists of incrementing the KREL
variable in the Makefile, rebuilding the packages and running 'make abiupdate'
(the 'abiupdate' target in 'Makefile' contains the steps for consistently
updating the repository).
