I have been testing this and it works surprisingly well without the need to compile the modules. For my use it is more than enough, so I don't need the official version anymore. Kudos to the developers. The only flaw is that the program is not translated into my language.

As for the package, the references to the modules should be removed, as they are not needed.

Thanks but I'm afraid that I'm not ready to be a co-maintainer yet.

Thanks @gnlrdrvo, I just applied your suggestions. Would you be interested in co-maintaining this package?

Some modifications may be needed:

  1. --disable-hardening is needed
  2. All setuid bits has to be removed, so probably -m0755 for Line 162 (and the comment on Line 161 can also be removed as well)
  3. The dependency on kernel modules (Line 145) can also be removed
