And there is no need cleven to depend on the exact version of the package(use ">=" in debian/control), that way when a new KP enters repos some day, I will build a new version of linux-backports-modules-power and it should be automatically pulled on kernel upgrade. Or if you have a better solution I am OK with it.

Or you can pull that one and rebuild it against stock kernel (just a few modifications are needed) if bleeding-edge drivers work on stock kernel. I can do it too of course (but not today ).

Actually I am not .deb packaging guru, so any piece of advice is welcome

OK now i have a headache after reading this:

Let me sleep on it for a few days and if I don't get any ideas we can ask some more people.

I think it might be possible with the installation scripts to make some more complex logic and depend on kernel versions.
