This is a more general issue, but shouldn't we supply precompile binary
modules packages for those who use the stock kernels? The modules package
itself would have to explain that it only worked with the stock debian
kernel, of course.
Lots of users don't bother to recompile the kernel, and v3s are probably
going to be very common soon...
