Install the "device-aaa-bbb-kernel-XXX" package instead of the "linux-postmarketos-XXX" to also install the related depends

Daniele Debernardi requested to merge fix/install-wrong-device-kernel into master

This PR will install the proper device subpackage, depending on the kernel selection during init, instead of installing directly the "linux-postmarketos-XXX" using the subpackage name. In both the current devices with the kernel selection, they have the depends variable with the correct kernel package to install, and possibly also other packages. In theory we can even remove also the lines:

     if args.kernel == "downstream":
         return ["linux-" + device]

and just install the device-aaa-bbb-kernel-downstream package which will have in the depends the linux-aaa-bbb package. Or it is by design to not install the device kernel subpackage?

Ps: I noticed that they weren't installed because I had extra stuff in the device kernel mainline subpackage and it was missing.
