Details

Non-kernel modules should never ever depend on the kernel. This results in totally unnecessary deps being installed for people that don't even run the standard kernel, e.g. on a Linode.

Please remove the dependency completely.

contrack-tools 1.2 needs at least a 3.4 kernel. How can i avoid user to update conntrack-tools if they don't run this kernel?

Install message? Or we don't care of this details?


PS: I still don't use a standard kernel, I provide linux=3.4. But it's not a solution for chroot.
