no, this is broken and evil. kernel-image packages should NOT override
someone who chooses to have ECN enabled.

the problem is that recent kernel-images have ECN support compiled in.

they shouldn't.

the correct solution is to NOT compile ECN support into the distribution
kernels. that's a choice that should be left up to the individual system
admin - if they want it, they can compile a kernel to support it.
