Is this patch really necessary ? Users should be able to make Debian
work with the stock stable kernels, surely ?

Peter Tobias, the net packages' maintainer, I think.

I may be confused here, what do you mean ? There's a manpage that may

When upgrading dpkg will automatically remove files that are not in
the new version of the package.
