Well, it *can* be built without kernel headers, so if the kernel  
module were ever to be packaged as a binary or included in the kernel  
it might make sense to still have kernapps around.  Otherwise I agree  
about kernapps, although it may be worth keeping around for  
development purposes.  Is there some issue with debian packaging that  
makes that target a problem?
