Or create an "expirmental" priority.

The policy manual says:

   extra
          This contains packages that conflict with others with higher
          priorities, or are only likely to be useful if you already
          know what they are or have specialised requirements.

(I got this from
 http://www.noguska.net/linux/policy/archive/debian-policy-2.4.0.0/ch2.html
)

Presumably, we think that this is not an appropriate category for 
packages which are only useful for people with a 2.1.* or higher
kernel.  If this is true, we need to come up with a description 
which is generally adequate, and create ourselves an "experimental"
kernel.

Frankly, I'm don't understand why "extra" isn't an adequate category.
