If we provide packages like this:
  Package: openafs-modules-generic
  Depends: openafs-modules-2.6.24-16-generic,
           linux-image-generic (= 2.6.24.16.18)
then the kernel upgrade will be held back until openafs modules are
available.  This would make it less critical that this happens
instantaneously.
