[PATCH v2] kbuild: deb-pkg: change the source package name to linux-upstream

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Mon Apr 19 2021 - 13:06:09 EST


Change the source package name from 'linux-$(KERNELRELEASE)' to
'linux-upstream'.

Initially, I tried to use 'linux' to be aligned with the Debian
kernel package, but Ben suggested 'linux-upstream' so that it is
clearly distinguished from distribution packages. [1]

The filenames will be changed as follows:

[Before]
linux-5.12.0-rc3+_5.12.0-rc3+-1.dsc
linux-5.12.0-rc3+_5.12.0-rc3+.orig.tar.gz
linux-5.12.0-rc3+_5.12.0-rc3+-1.diff.gz

[After]
linux-upstream_5.12.0-rc3+-1.dsc
linux-upstream_5.12.0-rc3+.orig.tar.gz
linux-upstream_5.12.0-rc3+-1.diff.gz

Commit 3716001bcb7f ("deb-pkg: add source package") introduced
KDEB_SOURCENAME. If you are unhappy with the default name, you can
override it via KDEB_SOURCENAME.
