There isn't one, at least not for bootflopies. We use debootstrap to fetch
the most up-to-date packages of that distribution and install them, not a
tarball.

The 2.2.x modules should not be kept somewhere the 2.4 kernels will find
them. This is certainly a big problem.

Please file bugs against the appropriate packages, so as to have them insure
they have a new-enough modutils, at the very least.
