Sorry, I misunderstood you.

It is impossible because it adds no extra functionality that I can think
of, while at the same time adds unnecessary complexisty: it duplicates
the kernel version detection "code" and such.

What functionality do you find missing? Could you give an example? 

One thing that is currently not done well is the list of modules, that
is currently hard-coded in kernel/Makefile (2.6). For 2.4 it is
"inherited" from the main makefile.

The zaptel package is a bunch of kernel modules and their userspace
tools.
