Well, some folks may choose to run the 2.0.x series with potato, so I
don't think removal is desirable for them. Since /etc/init.d/kerneld looks to
/etc/modules and checks for the "noauto" directive, simply adding that
will also disable kerneld. It should probably be disabled by default in
a potato setup since the default kernel is a 2.2.x version. But I'd only
consider this a bug if it was a fresh potato install -- Slink upgraders
might still be using 2.0.x series.
