Thanks for the reply.

No but if the cifs module is compiled for the stock kernel (I mean compiled later, ie not included in the default stock config) then there definitely is version mismatch.
I do not exactly understand why there should be a version mismatch as both kernels were compiled from the same source? But I must admit that I do not know much about how this version checking works exactly.
The other kernel should use the same scheme as me and titan use with Provides: -line (for example http://maemo.org/packages/package_in....6.28-maemo24/).
I'm not sure that I understand what you mean here. What happens if another package which requires a custom kernel config needs to be installed. Let's say a package that needs usbnet supported. Then the maintainer of this package needs to recompile hotspot-kernel with the addition of usbnet? And would the package on which it depends still be called hotspot-kernel?

I don't think you should have a dependency to a certain kernel config. I've never seen it done anyway.
