The linux-grsec source package needs a way to explicitly disable these
binary packages which are already built by the linux source package.
We already do that when there are no actual kernels for the target
architecture. Rename the FOREIGN_KERNEL make variable and combine the
two conditions.
Based on work by Yves-Alexis Perez.
Currently we don't allow versions like 3.16.7-ckt9-3~deb8u1~bpo7+1 in
*-backports, but we should! Add the security suffix as an option
before the backports suffix.
We also don't check that an upload to *-security or *-lts includes the
expected suffix and nothing else. Add a check for that.

Unfortunately it is not sufficient to provide virtual packages
that exactly match the ABI name. For example, 'reportbug kernel'
doesn't find the virtual package, and neither do dpkg commands
such as 'dpkg -l linux-image-$(uname -r)'.

The filename of the kernel image to be installed, and the stem of the
installed name, varies between architectures, so we define several
different rules to install it for different sets of architectures.
However the basic fact that we need to install this file in /boot does
not.
We also duplicate this name information in gencontrol.py and in
debian/config/{armel,armhf,sh4}/defines (used by buildcheck.py).
To address this:
* Define [image]install-stem and [build]image-file for each architecture
* Copy these settings to make-flags in gencontrol.py
* Copy [image]install-stem to the image-stem template variable in
gencontrol.py
* Replace the per-architecture rules with a single rule using those
make-flags
The per-architecture rules for ARM and PowerPC also installed DTB
and DTS files, respectively. Include those commands in the single
rule with appropriate conditions around them.

In gencontrol.py 'abiname' now includes the upstream version whereas
the part after that is 'abiname_part'. Update the per-architecture
ABI name handling accordingly.
Also use the per-architecture ABI name in udeb package names and when
generating the maintainer scripts.
svn path=/dists/sid/linux/; revision=20762
Use the same template syntax and implementation for maintainer
scripts, translations, etc. as we do for the control files. Define
the image-stem and initramfs variables to replace the old K and I
variables.
After this, debian/linux-* and debian/po/*.po are generated files (at
source preparation time) and should be ignored in svn.
Use debhelper to install the generated files at build time. This also
results in a redundant dependency on debconf (which we already have in
Pre-Depends), but this seems harmless.

The kernel config files used to be uploaded to
http://kernel.alioth.debian.org/config/ or elsewhere, and people
occasionally request them, but we have no infrastructure to
automatically do that and I rarely remember to do it. These are
presumably wanted as a starting point by people building custom
packages who don't want to download the linux-image package, so
add them to the linux-source-$UPSTREAMVERSION package.
We can already generate all the config files without any
cross-toolchain using the 'setup' target in rules.gen, except that the
'make prepare' command in rules.real will fail. This command is
unnecessary as 'prepare' is a dependency of any build target we use
in our 'build-arch' rule, so remove it.

Most of the patches added to sid are already in 3.5 and could be dropped.
Some others needed to be re-generated without the backporting changes.
Ignore the rt changes as there is no rt featureset for 3.5.
