That's broken anyhow, because any kernel 2.6.16 will satify it. That's
why kmdls don't rely on the kernel Provides. So your best bet is to
remove that dependency from the specfile.

Yes, so it can live in the stable section. Otherwise it would be
installed by on every ATrpms user as the default kernel.

Only the broken specfiles :)

Maybe you'd like to get openafs into ATrpms with a proper kmdl? Once
integrated, kmdls for new kernels will automatically be generated
inclusing suspend2 kernels.
