Just to let you know that I haven't forgotten about this yet. Mark
Hymers and I discussed this problem last week and I believe we found a
workaround (add a binary package to the armel but not the arm
linux-modules-di packge so the two packages don't generate exactly the
same binaries). I'm currently waiting for Mark to confirm before
uploading a new linux-modules-di package.
