Bug Description

To avoid git repo tag namespace collisions, the derivative kernel target names should be embedded in their git 'release' tags, e.g. in the Ubuntu Xenial git repo:

tag Ubuntu-raspi2-4.4.0-1017.23 instead of Ubuntu-4.4.0-1017.23
tag Ubuntu-snapdragon-4.4.0-1020.23 instead of Ubuntu-4.4.0-1020.23

This new tag naming scheme should be applied to the main kernel branch and the -meta branch for each derivative.

Derivatives to be changed:

xenial/raspi2
xenial/snapdragon
wily/raspi2
precise/ti-omap4

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-xenial' to 'verification-done-xenial'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
