Thorsten Leemhuis (knurd in #livna) is the one working on the this
package. I'm not 100% sure how it works but I know it will help make the
building of Livna kmods much easier. I looked at it brieflya few weeks
back, I think you just need to edit the "newest-kernels" and
"latest-kernels" files in /usr/share/kmod-helpers-livna and it will
rebuild properly.
