linux-image-*-unsigned: Remove Provides field (Closes: #916927)
In unstable, linux-image-*-unsigned packages and any corresponding
metapackage updates tend to be available a few hours before the
corresponding signed packages. An automatic upgrade with aptitude (at
least) may then install the unsigned kernel where a signed kernel
was previously used, resulting in boot failure.
I gave the linux-image-*-unsigned packages a Provides relation to the
unsuffixed (i.e. signed) package name because I thought packages built
by module-assistant generally depended on the corresponding kernel
package. That may have been true once but doesn't appear to be so
now.
So the Provides field can be harmful and doesn't appear to be useful,
and should be removed.
