I've pushed a fix but it sucks.

So we needs to do something like the following to guess the real
version from the linux-headers package version?

cat /usr/lib/modules/extramodules-$(expac -Q '%v' linux-headers |sed
-r 's/([[:digit:]]+\.[[:digit:]]+).*/\1/')-ARCH/version

A side effect, this file is owner by linux package and pull it in
makedepends cause the chroot installations needs to grow from 46MB to
140MB (on i686).
Where previously only linux-headers was required.

If the linux package version could match the real kernel version, it
would simplify scripts.
In others words, add .0 to the first released version (instead of
using the tarball name)

Cheers,
