Hello Joop,
Thank you for mentioning that my current etch system is running well
with a 2.4 kernel.
I think you are correct about putting a banner in the packages, that
they are depend on 2.6 or other kernel series or al least kernel x and
up.
I am not sure if you can detect that there is a kernel of at least x
is installed, then you still can do the dependency.
That would close the bug.
