Hm, if that's the goal, what about having:
Name: kernel
Version: <something-which-is-stable>
Release: 1mdk (or whatever)
and for the experimental kernel:
Name: kernel-test
Version: 2.4.16 (or whatever)
Release: 1mdk (or whatever)
Provides: kernel-2.4.16-1mdk
This would allow the kernel hackers to experiment with a kernel, while
still having a known good kernel around. Also, this would not change
the name of the package every time. Wouldn't this be sufficient?
Because I don't see the need to have n test kernels flying around. With
my proposal, there would be only one test kernel.
