Does the current ppp package in unstable fail when used on Linux 2.6.32
from squeeze?  Or was the problem only with Linux 3.1?  In the latter
case there is nothing to be done as that version is obsolete and
unsupported.  In the former case we need to deal with the
incompatibility somehow.  Note that the ppp source hasn't changed at all
recently.

This sort of incompatibility cannot be solved with dependencies.
Installing a new kernel package doesn't mean you're immediately running
that kernel version.
