because anyone can compile a kernel themselves and install it, and dpkg
only knows about debian packages.
there might be a better way to check for this by using a preinst check.
Carlos, can you take a look at this? I think sparc already a similar
check.

2.4.18? i thought we were talking about 2.4.19....
yes, you should not use 2.4.18 anymore. The 2.4.19-rc1 kernels are not
particularly stable yet, but the pre-rc ones (e.g. the ones that are in
the debian archive is 2.4.19-pa22) should be ok.
