Comment (by jdreed):
OK, I found the logic problem. This statement:
{{{
# To distinguish metapackages from meta-metapackages, we need to look
# at whether the package's linux-image-* dependency is an actual
# kernel image or a metapackage.
}}}
is not true. linux-image-i686 (a meta-meta package) depends on linux-
image-2.6.32-5-686, which is just a plain old package.
I'm not sure what the easiest way to fix this is, but it sounds like this
only affects ia32, and that there are a finite number of meta-meta
packages, so maybe we should just blacklist the meta-meta-packages?
