Bug Description

Ubuntu 9.10

1. From Ubuntu Software Center trunk <https://code.launchpad.net/~software-store-developers/software-center/trunk>, search for "real-time kernel".

What happens: There are 17 results, none of which are the standard linux-image-rt (though one of them is linux-image-2.6.31-9-rt).
What should happen: linux-image-rt should be one of the results.

This bug occurs because the package description for linux-image-rt does not mention "real-time" at all. The description is "This package will always depend on the latest rt kernel image available.", which isn't helpful.

A better description would start with "The latest version of the real-time Linux kernel." While you're there, a sentence or two describing the benefits and disadvantages of using the real-time kernel might help too.

Problem occurs with: Ubuntu 8.10, 9.04, 9.10, Lucid
Does not occur with: Ubuntu 8.04 (according to <http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=linux-image-rt>)
