Did you know what ckt stands for ?: Canonical Kernel Team.

I assume basically everyone working on the Debian Kernel Team is employed by Canonical and works on both.

Ben Hutchings doesn't.

Expanding on this, looking at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam#Ubuntu_Platform_Kernel... , I don't recognise any names in Debian.

The 'ckt' is there to distinguish Canonical-maintained stable branches from those branches maintained or blessed by Greg K-H. It follows the same rules as other stable branches, though - without anything that's Ubuntu-specific or not upstream.

I'll be taking over maintenance of the 3.16 stable branch next year, likely changing 'ckt' to 'dkt'. (Certainly, it'll have to be something that sorts higher.)
