Right, a testing kernel and all other parts of the system should be
stable at all times.  Otherwise, it wouldn't be called testing, it'd
be named something obvious so the user would know it wasn't stable.
Sheesh.

So I won't tell you that livna can't be expected to provide a module
for your testing kernel, but I will say that you have unusual
expectations if you expect them to install a module cleanly on a
system that you have mucked with manually.  Sometimes that can make
things interesting and if you're not prepared to clean up the mess,
then don't run testing and don't muck around manually unless you
understand them.
