Couldn't we set it as a dep of the wireless tools? That seems like it would install for the right people then. Considering you want to shut things off in the kernel, this will make some (most? no idea) wireless non-functional without this, right? It seems an optdepend of kernel26 would be easy to miss
I think I remember that the wireless stack will fall back to a default (minimal) set of channels if crda is missing (which is not too different from the current behaviour).
As quite some wireless cards need firmware to operate, we could also make the firmwares depend on this package. kernel26 doesn't depend on any wireless firmware at this moment.
