[Spacewalk-list] Why spacewalk sync all version of kernel packages?

[Tomas Lestach]

If I look here [1], [2], [3]
I'd say:
* linux-headers-4.15.0-1019-azure
* linux-headers-4.15.0-1021-azure
* linux-headers-4.15.0-1022-azure
are three different packages ('numbers' are part of the package name)
vs three different package versions of one package.

E.g. My guess is 4.15.0-1021.21~16.04.1 is the version and
linux-headers-4.15.0-1022-azure is the package name of
linux-headers-4.15.0-1022-azure_4.15.0-1022.22~16.04.1_amd64.deb

I'd say Spacewalk behaves correctly.

Regards,
Tomas
