That still seems reasonable to me. I like that. If you're going to ship alternative much newer options, don't put them in "updates" (intended for the local admin), and we have generally used "extra" for packaged drivers. I favor the "backports" directory. New directories are cheap, and searching them is just a trivial config file entry...then users can always get a choice about using a backport. In fact, they can be given a drop-in config file that will change the load order on a per-module basis if they need to replace the standard driver with the compat-wireless option.
