Bug#586605: firmware-b43-installer: do not fail on kernel version mismatch

Ok, basically you want to install the package during the installation
process or something like that.
The simplest check could be look for /debootstrap/ directory and if it
exists return a message something like "you are in debootstrap. mininum
kernel required is 2.6.25 do you want continue? Y/N"
If Y, skip the kernel check and install it.

Another way, little bit more complex, is to compare the root inodes like
udev.

It's clear now. I'm working for fix this issue.

Ciao.
Fabrizio.
