I didn't but I do have now...

I thought it would have been but couldn't find any evidence when I looked 
(missing /etc/init.d/nslu2-rtc which modprobes rtc-dev: which is there, 
too). Just managed to force dpkg to install it into the correct place 
from an ix86 box (it couldn't run the postinst script though so I hope 
the crucial part of that is creating the sym-link).

I had to use nslu2-utils from the main arm archive: the only one I 
couldn't find it (by hand) in the armel repository: the nslu2-utils 
directory only contains a package for slugimage (which is already 
installed).

Will have to wait until this evening to see if this makes any 
difference...

Cheers,
