Then I revoke my previous statement: installation of the kernel should be
better done in a separate step. I will probably look into this more closely.
(For the time being, even with the new versions of FAI, I still can keep
my old - and modified - DEFAULT kernel-install script, and leave the 
kernel spec out of the package list. This would also be more flexible
in some cases...)
