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.)
