This does not even come close to being grave. It is merely a request to 
support this driver in installations so that your particular hardware or 
configuration can be supported. I.e: wishlist.

The module seems to be available in linux-image-2.6.18-4-powerpc64 and 
thus can be added to the kernel udebs for powerpc64. I have added it to 
the nic-extra-modules udeb and it will be included in the next upload.
