Bug#636010: [linux-2.6] Please rename source to linux

Based on experience of the git-core - git renaming: The only downside I know of is that you have to look at both src:linux-2.6 and src:linux to find the full list of known bugs. As long as src:linux-2.6 exists in a maintained version, the maintainer info is still fine (and if that breaks, we can pester owner@). To move a bug to the new package: reassign 94324832 src:linux 3.2.20-1 found 94324832 linux-2.6/2.6.32-29 found 94324832 linux-2.6/3.2.12-1 Debbugs uses the changelogs of the current package in stable and unstable (I don't remember if it uses testing and oldstable too or not) to understand found/fixed information, so the version graph, testing migration, and other version-associated magic would work fine. I wouldn't mind just making the switch, as long as the bug script is updated to match at the same time.
