Indeed. modutils is required, but not Essential, so we could provide the old modutils as modutils-linux2.0 at priority extra. I know there are Debian developers who run 2.0 kernels, so I will patiently wait for one of them to step up for modutils-linux2.0 before I do anything as silly as volunteering :-) Richard Braakman
