Hmpf, there are still issues with replacing the upstream package with
something we built ourselves. Namely, a Provides in the custom package
does not override the upstream meta package of the same name. Any Debian
gurus around that can explain that?

I suppose there no way around providing my own
linux-image/headers-<arch> meta package to pull the custom packages...
