I seem to recall that being the case.  I can try to find a way to test
that assertion... I just can't think of anything ATM that would require
it, because Feisty has everything I've needed so far save for the kqemu
emulator module... (and I don't know how to package that cleanly into a
package, to be honest, since it is a kernel module.)
