erm .... since you keep highbank as an optional kernel in the db with your former patch from the other bug, shouldn't the isinstallable script also keep highbank and just get generic added as an additional option ?

@Oliver: My reasoning was that flash-kernel needs to work on upgrades, flash-kernel-installer only needs to work for new installs.

This patch worked in my test where I manually injected the updated the udeb in my install environment, but wasn't sufficient for real netboot installs because it didn't update XB-Subarchitecture in the control file, causing the installer to not fetch the udeb to begin with. Here's a patch that corrects this as well.

Here's an alternate patch that adds back the "highbank" string for flash-kernel-installer, in case we prefer to go that way.
