Can you describe what is broken?

The way things are set up is that you have to compile the wanpipe drivers always against the 
current versions of the kernel and DAHDI. You could change that with a pretty high risk of 
breaking things, mainly due to frequent changes in the network related parts of the kernel.

I have never seen something break, except for kernel updates, but my systems are RedHat based. I 
doubt that the Debian based systems are much different as far as interface changes are concerned 
for a certain release. My guess is that you should be fine if you do not execute "apt-get 
dist-upgrade".
