And maybe kernel packages should now prerequire kernel-utils, since it
is no longer guaranteed that /sbin/installkernel is installed before a
kernel (as it was when it was in initscripts). Installing a kernel now
can easily result in no mods necessary to use the kernel, and no error
messages during installation.

Juan, this probably needs to be fixed sooner than later!
