I stand by the reasoning for the reasoning for the change as detailed by
the thread mentioned - it did address some underlying problems. It was
assumed anyone rebuilding the modules could release a new kernel package
too hence avoiding this dependency problem.

On the NSLU2, kernel-image-2.4.22-xfs is probably an empty package? as
will be kernel-2.4.22-xfs? Would it be possible to have both 'empty'
packages in the feed? You could always have one have a Depends: on the
other?

Cheers,
