btw: "apt-cache pkgnames" should have better/quicker result than searching.

Don't know what that goldfish is nor am I particular interested in cloud, but I guess they could be added if there is need/interest. Its not like there is any real cost attached to it and false positives are pretty unlikely with the kernel versions attached… in the case of goldfish it seems to be unneeded through as they have "normally" named images/headers packages, too, which depend on the strange ones, so the autoremover wouldn't kick in anyhow for those.

kfreebsd, gnumach (= hurd) do not share the same version, they do share the kernel postinst scripts which apt is using here through, so even through they use entirely different version schemes, its still a version we can work with. Excluding specific items depending on the architecture we built apt for would be possible, but not really worth the implementation effort I presume.

And yes, -modules/-kernel is for out-of-tree modules as created by module-assistant (from -source packages), but I think dkms can built packages, too, and its the naming scheme which tends to be used for packages for modules which happen to be distributable as binary builds… (not that there would be many).
