Today's broken deps report highlights why kmod2 uses kernel-uname-r
instead.  Seems the kernel variant packages (e.g. PAE) don't have a
Provides that includes the variant name.  I've switched to putting
the Requires on kernel-uname-r instead, which does include the
variant.

I should have listened to you to begin with :).
