        sorry. I didn't know the difference.

        Why *anything*?

        Actually, 2.6.15 is the only available kernel both in testing
        and unstable. The package doesn't work out of the box as it
        should with the actual kernel series, and if I understood the
        problem, it will not work with the next kernel releases. I think
        users should be warned about this problem. If you don't agree
        to set a conflict with a specific kernel version, probably a
        warning message could be helpful for users.

        If I find time, I will also look to try to backport the changes
        to solve this bug.

        Thanks for your time,

        Marco
