I do not know enough details about the kernel flavors for a good solution, but here are my alternatives:
a) We could have a special case in update-manager that checks /proc/cpuinfo and based on what it reads (and what the kernel team thinks is appropriate) switch users from linux-386 to linux-generic.
b) Make the linux-386 package a transitional package for linux-generic and rename the current linux-386 to linux-legacy ( or -old or -oldmachines ...).
