Bug#258823: [patch] anna: Add check for presence of kernel version udebs (untested)

[Frans Pop]

I've prepared a patch for anna that will check if there are any udebs in the 
available packages list suitable for the running kernel version.
My goal was to allow the user to select another mirror if no valid udebs have 
been found.

I think this patch will also require the addition of a dialog for the 
retrievers to handle the new 'kernel_version' error situation.

Please check very carefully as my knowledge of both anna and C is very 
limited :-(
