lm-sensors was updated recently for compatability with the 2.4.27
kernel update which had an ABI change (DSA 1503). Aurelien Jarno
discovered that this updated had a problem (#475164) that resulted in
missing binary modules. It is true that sarge is no longer security
supported, but since this was a regression caused by a security update
we went ahead and released the fix.
