I wonder how you where able to build these packages with the current
kernel-wedge, i faced (apart from a few minor issues of modules dissapearing),
two major issues :

  unix and af_packet are now builtin, kernel-wedge doesn't know about this.

  and more importantly, loads of nic modules now depend on mii, which is thus
  nicluded in both nic-modules and nic-extra-modules :

    debian/nic-modules-2.6.14-2-powerpc-di lib/modules/2.6.14-2-powerpc/kernel/drivers/net/mii.ko
    debian/nic-extra-modules-2.6.14-2-powerpc-di lib/modules/2.6.14-2-powerpc/kernel/drivers/net/mii.ko
    some modules are in more than one package

This is by no way a porter issue, as both of these appear to be generic
changes in the kernel.
