   * Fixed a typo in the postinst that caused a warning to be issued when
the user hook script executed correctly (and no warnings on error),
* The software and the documentation was inconsistent as to the format
of the revision flag: the man page and the command line help insisted
that hyphens were not allowed; the README and the software itself
would allow hyphens, but no checks were then in place to ensure the
resulting version was legal. This caused problems at the tail end of a
fairly expensive kernel compile. I think I am going to standardize on
not allowing hyphens, cause then the checks already in place are
sufficient, and I think it is reasonable not to have debian revisions
for kernel-image-X.X.XX packages (in a way, these packages are really
Debian only). So, now you may no longer sneak in a hyphen and thus
debian revisions into the ekrnel-image versions (and thus it shall
remain unless there is a public outcry). closes: Bug#77423
