This is what don't make any sense to me. Maybe, it's just me..

Yes, I understand above but I think linux_devtools and linux_base name 
should be same to avoid the confuse of what's default linux emulator 
version? Current, the default of Linux emulator is version 7 but the 
linux_devtools default is 8. So, I think it should be like this:

- linux_devtools-6 and linux_base-6
- linux_devtools and linux_base
- linux_devtools-8 and linux_base-8

or

- linux_devtools-6 and linux_base-6
- linux_devtools-7 and linux_base-7
- linux_devtools and linux_base

Cheers,
Mezz
