No, I sent an email to the package maintainer instead :-) He has fixed
the problem in the repository version of nslu2-utils
(http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-nslu2-utils).

Yes. Just make sure that the version of the kernel that exists in the
backup flash image still exists on the hard drive (although I suspect
that if you did delete that version of the kernel, it wouldn't be
fatal), i.e. don't dpkg [--deinstall | --purge]
linux-image-2.6.17-2-ixp4xx until you have confirmed that the new
kernel boots.
