Bug Description

I noticed that the precise daily images currently include a copy of the 3.2.0 kernel packages in the apt repository:

$ grep linux.*image precise-desktop-amd64.list
/pool/main/l/linux-meta/linux-image-generic_3.2.0.36.42_amd64.deb
/pool/main/l/linux-meta/linux-image_3.2.0.36.42_amd64.deb
/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-3.2.0-36-generic_3.2.0-36.57_amd64.deb
$

These are probably useless bloat since the image only boots 3.5.0-22 and we are advising users who want 3.2.0 to stick with the .1 media.

Hunted this down, and it's actually dkms pulling this in which, handily, Timo just SRUed with a backport of my raring fix for this. :P
