I'm working to package that as we speak. In fact, I've already packaged
it, but due to Real Life work haven't been able to test it yet, and this
is not something to drop onto an unsuspecting public without making sure
it doesn't break anything.
I also want to check whether this package will work on an older kernel.
That's the most important point here; if not, I'll have to depend on
a kernel-image >= 2.0.36.
