Description Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2015-09-20 07:55:14 UTC 
See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=680175

Problem here is apparently that Linux kernel images start with a DOS MZ header. Would be nice to add something that doesn't let our beloved kernel be recognized as 80s technology ;)
