Bug Description
== SRU Justification ==
Packages built from linux-meta source are currently in Section: metapackages. The original rationale for this was that Recommends were handled differently for 'metapackages' (bug #114662).
This rationale no longer applies and has not for a long time (all recommends are now installed by default). Instead, use of this section causes all *dependencies* of the linux metapackages to be marked as 'manual', preventing them from ever being cleaned up by apt autoremoval.
I have pushed changes to the archive overrides to move all of these packages from section 'metapackages' to section 'kernel', and I will be preparing an apt upload that automatically marks any such installed packages 'auto' instead of 'manual' as a one-time upgrade fixup. The linux-meta source package should also make this change of moving everything from Section: metapackages to Section: kernel, to guard against this regressing in the future.
== Test Case ==
Examine kernel metapackage debs with dpkg-deb -I and confirm they are now in Section: kernel
