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
