It's obvious that package linux-tools-common is not specific for kernel version 6.8.0 and the description should't claim such thing. Even though this package claims to be version specific, the `perf` and `turbostat` programs from this package work perfectly well with kernel version 7.0. Description should not mention any specific kernel version numbers or provide a description that matches the real implementation. For example, if the compatibility is "6.8.0 or newer", the description should say so.
