what we want? integrity or what? if you want to use custom kernel.config, then 
kernel.spec on LINUX_2_6 offers that. you can't control things that are 
outside package management. and trying to do it half-way you break packages 
that are not originated from main line distros (th doesn't have 
kernel-desktop on ftp, but it provides upgrade for nvidia userspace).

while accounting for the non-rpm based kernels, %{with dist_kernel} having the 
versioned dependency (while it really doesn't matter if it's strict NVR based 
one), it doesn't "break" so much, while providing a little consistency that 
the poldek --upgrade-dist doesn't leave with kernel/userspace abi mismatch.

oh and it's so cool that with last poldek --upgrade-dist on th-system, it 
broke my networkmanager and x11, i can't use my laptop anymore... and i have 
to fight here to get some integrity in package upgrades, when figured out 
what broke the system, so cool, so fun!
