Author Kernel version 100

Just curious: any particular reason why the kernel version is reported
as "100" on http://packages.debian.org/unstable/allpackages?

kernel-image-2.6-386 (100)
Linux kernel image for version 2.6 on 386.
kernel-image-2.6-686 (100)
Linux kernel image for version 2.6 on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/PIV.
kernel-image-2.6-686-smp (100)
Linux kernel image for version 2.6 on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/PIV SMP.
kernel-image-2.6-amd64-generic (2.6.8-5)
Linux kernel image for version 2.6 on generic x86_64 systems
kernel-image-2.6-amd64-k8 (2.6.8-5)

This seems to be the case with some architectures, but not all.

Thanks a lot :-)

This is just a meta-package, which depends on the latest 2.6 kernel
available.

Yes, but it used to have a proper version number in the parenthesis not=20
so long ago. Why the sudden change?

100 is also a proper version number.

The way the metapackage was built changed, so the version number was
increased by an arbitrary amount.
