[PATCH] Make sure kernel is recent when installing on HPPA

[Carlos O'Donell <carlos@baldric.uwo.ca>]

debian-glibc,

I've seen one person get burned by this, so I was thinking of 
something along the lines of the Sparc test in preinst that checks
to see if the kernel version is the minimum required for glibc.

Comments?

c.
