Mm, you *could* do that by doing a "manual" update of
erasing the specific
older version of the package and installing the new, instead of using
rpm's normal update procedure. Actually this has been brought up before on
the subject of kernel-module packages, on freshrpms-list IIRC. I wasn't
excited about doing such a "manual" update from apt for this special case
then and I'm not now either :)
<sigh> God this is going to be ugly.
Like really, really, really ugly.
