Hi! The following is all nitpicking. I hope it won't cause a
bikeshedding discussion, I'm not going to fight for any of this, I just
want to get it of my chest.

I always found "internal" confusing, because it makes my head go
"internal to what? The Kernel?". Hence while we're reshuffling this, why
not make it more obvious what this package contains and call it
something like "kernel-modules-testing" or something like that?

Isn't the "binary" superfluous here (the modules are binaries, too)? Why
not call these packages "kernel-image" and "kernel-uki-virt"?

Just my 2 cent.

Ciao, Thorsten
