This is OK in itself... I moved ext2 and ext3 support into the
monolithic kernel so we can now do ext2 / 3 SD Card boot.  You need to
update the bootloader to play that game (but, it is a really fun game).

What the effect of that is on the package state with opkg is I dunno.
rpm (that I do know) has "obsoletes" tag one would add to the main
kernel package so it would have deleted the ext2 module package on upgrade.
