@mcarni, sure. Thanks for the tests so far. The problem is that those kernels
replace each other (as they have the same ABI). If they wouldn't it would
require all other depending kernel packages as well and I tried to avoid that.

I am not sure how this would work with Gdebi. What I usually do is right-click
and save the deb package. Then I call 'sudo dpkg --install <pkg>' which will
warn about downgrades but continues.

That is good new indeed. If the v1 still crashes, this will be enough
information to send this upstream as well.

One more question with that: will it be ok to add your mail addresses (from
launchpad) as "Tested-by:" lines to the patch?
