RFC: test-patches: Add '-test-patches' to abiname
I don't know if this is a/the proper way to do it, hence the RFC.
I think this addresses one major aspect of what was raised in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1022061#10 (that bug is actually against debian-kernel-handbook)
By giving it a distinct abiname, the newly build kernel is clearly identifiable in things like grub, so users know which kernel they're booting and it won't cause a removal of the 'normal' Debian kernel, which in turn could result in the removal of kernel meta packages.
Such things are intimidating to people who don't do these kind of things on a regular basis, which is often the target audience for the 'test-patches' script.
