But the whole 4.12 branch has been masked, so that won't do. Here, I've had 
to go back to 4.9.49-r1 (amd64, not ~amd64). But now I see 4.9.72 has been 
stabilised. I think I'll wait for some stabiliity in the kernel version 
offerings before I make another move. Three kernel compilations on six 
systems within a week are a few too many.
