IIRC, Manuel Bouyer made a change to the kernel sources between
1.4.1-1.4.2 to allow the packaged netatalk to be used as a router.
This required a change to the netatalk package to permit netatalk to
be used as a non-router, "patch-be". Maybe you'd like to pull that one
up to the sources you're using.
