Quantal had dropped the -virtual kernel install which I suspect is some of the cause of this test failure.

The intention was to have linux-virtual (a meta package) which should be used to pull in the minimal kernel and the headers package (generic), while linux-generic would depend on the minimal kernel, the headers and the extra package with all other modules. But it seems the dependencies are not as they should be, so linux-virtual pulls in everything.

Either this should have been linux-meta or the format of the bug reference in the changelog was wrong. But the fixed linux-meta should be out already.
