The builddeb script has some hardcoded references to Linux version 2.6
which is ancient. Drop Provides as the virtual packages provided are not
useful anymore. Leave the Provides for linux-kernel-headers, as someone
might still be referring to it.

While at it, updated copyright date and standards version.

I agree that these virtual packages are not useful.  Debian's official
kernel packages don't provide them any more as they that effectively
prevented auto-removal.

Does it makes sense to specify a Standards-Version at all?  These
packages aren't really policy-compliant since e.g. packaging changes
aren't mentioned in the changelog.

Ben.
