Bug Description

Binary package hint: mindi

Currently the recommends line in debian/control contains:
linux-amd64-generic | linux-386 | linux-powerpc

I would like to propose adding the others, so that nobody would be surprised to find a new kernel installing (as I just did) if they use aptitude without -R, assuming the package doesn't actually need 386 for some odd reason (I don't know). So, perhaps:

linux-amd64-generic | linux-386 | linux-powerpc | linux-686 | linux-generic | linux-server | linux-server-bigiron | linux-686-smp | linux-amd64-k8 | linux-amd64-k8-smp | linux-amd64-server | linux-amd64-xeon | linux-k7 | linux-k7-smp | linux-power3 | linux-power3-smp | linux-power4 | linux-power4-smp | linux-powerpc-smp | linux-powerpc64-smp

would be the appropriate line for Dapper, and the much simpler:

linux-generic | linux-386 | linux-server | linux-powerpc | linux-powerpc-smp | linux-powerpc64-smp | linux-ps3 | linux-server-bigiron

for Feisty and newer

Thank you for your bug report.
An elegant solution could be add just linux-image dependency (http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/virtual/linux-image). Do you agree?
