The unionfs modules are part of the 2.6 kernel now.  Do you really need 
them?

Unslung is the only distro AFAIK that is still based on a 2.4 kernel; 
and unionfs is not very useful (the obvious use, which is to use ntfs-3g 
to replace the buggy Linksys proprietary ntfs driver is not write-safe, 
and thus isn't useful).

I would suspect that we can simply drop the modules build from unionfs. 
  (But perhaps leave the recipe present in case someone else wants very 
much to try to get ntfs-3g working on unslung.)
