Title:
linux-image-extra package accidentally renamed to linux-modules on
Ubuntu 14?
Status in pkg-website:

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Hey all!
We're running Ubuntu 14.04. We recently pulled in a new version of the
kernel (looks like 3.13.0-166 was just released to address a security
vulnerability: https://usn.ubuntu.com/3908-1/).
Some of our scripts install the `linux-image-extra-*` package
corresponding to the current kernel version (so in this case,
3.13.0-166-generic). However, it looks like there is no `linux-image-
extra-3.13.0-166-generic` package:
```
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-cache policy linux-image-extra-3.13.0-166
...
Reading package lists... Done
N: Unable to locate package linux-image-extra-3.13.0-166
N: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-image-extra-3.13.0-166'
```
I do still see a version 165 version of this package:
```
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-cache policy linux-image-extra-3.13.0-165
...
Reading package lists... Done
linux-image-extra-3.13.0-165-generic:
Installed: (none)

```
What's interesting is that I do now see a `linux-modules-*` for 166,
something that doesn't seem to exist for any old 14.04 kernels:
```
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-cache policy linux-module-3.13.0-166
...

If you look at https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=trusty-
updates§ion=all&arch=any&keywords=linux-modules&searchon=names,
you can see that 166 is the *only* kernel version for this package
(except for some -azure stuff that I don't know anything about). This
is a stark contrast to https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite
=trusty-updates§ion=all&arch=any&keywords=linux-image-
extra&searchon=names, where you can see lots of versions of this
package for all kernels up to 165 (but not including 166).
Is it possible that linux-image-extra-* was renamed to linux-modules-*
in later versions of Ubuntu, and the naming got mixed up while
backporting https://usn.ubuntu.com/3908-1/ to Ubuntu 14.04?
