Yeah that would be nice, but I think there is a problem: the newest 
kernels already have the ipv4 version included, and so patch-o-matic 
would either consider CLASSIFY already installed and skip it or then it 
would probably complain while installing that it there were some 
conflicts with the files. I haven't tested though, but I wouldn't assume 
it has the logic to pick out the ipv6-specific parts from the directory..
