What is the difference between xen-linux-system-3.16.0-4-amd64 and xen-linux-system-amd64 in Debian 8 Jessie

Should a newer version be introduced at some point, xen-linux-system-amd64 will have a dependency on that version instead. If you want to stay on the old, specific version, install the 3.16.0-4 package instead....
