Actually you have the dependency backwards. 2.1 kernels require libc5 5.4, not vice-versa. And you certainly can run a 2.1 kernel on a Debian machine upgraded to the packages in rex. Unless it proves to be too difficult, we will support running 2.1 kernels. For example, modules_2.0.0-12 was recently released with the major change being that it will work with 2.1 kernels.
