 Description: Linux kernel source tree for building Debian kernel images
  This meta package is used as a build dependency of Debian
- linux-image packages to prevent a version discrepancy between
- the linux-image and corresponding linux-sources packages in the
+ linux-kernel packages to prevent a version discrepancy between
+ the linux-kernel and corresponding linux-sources packages in the
  fast-moving unstable archive. The package's dependency relations
- are structured so that a linux-image package's build
+ are structured so that a linux-kernel package's build
  dependencies can always be satisfied, even if the linux-source
  package that had been used to compile the image has been
  superseeded by a newer Debian revision since the last build.
