This lists packages containing "goldfish": http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=goldfish&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all
According to it there is linux-goldfish-headers-3.4.0-4 for yakkety
Please note that I am talking about versioned kernel packages.
In Trusty,
apt-cache search --names-only '.*' | awk '/^linux-.+-[0-9]+\.[0-9]+.+/{print $1}' | grep linux-.*-tools
gives currently 473 matches of which 165 does not match "linux-cloud-tools" such as linux-goldfish-tools-3.4.0-3 and linux-lts-xenial-tools-4.4.0-31.

I have been creating a script that keeps linux kernel packages that have certain version and purge other linux kernel packages, so I was just wondering, if I have to care about the other operating systems. I am neither familiar with the kernels of other operation systems than linux nor their versioning. Do linux, kfreebsd and gnumach possibly share a version? It is hard to use the configuration variable to purge linux kernels exclusively for what it is worth.
