Fix: -check_extra_config +linux-info_pkg_setup
I killed the test completely, it is only needed on runtime, so checking for the build is useless. A note is dropped in pkg_postinst and the guide describes it very well.
Hmm yeah, sounds like a good idea; you can easily make it non-fatal with CONFIG_CHECK="~TUN" but it will still crap out on unconfigured kernel even then.
