I think this is there by mistake, the built packages are meant for 2.4
(or from the source code's POV for both 2.6 and 2.4). I suggest that
either the comment is wrong (works also with 2.4), or that you should
uncomment that part. Of course, at the end of the day, what really
counts is whether you have decent output from lm_sensors.

I am copying the lm_sensors list. I am not sure myself ;)
