Bug Description

SRU Justification:

Currently we've only backported the 2.6.36 compat-wireless stack in linux-backports-modules for Maverick. However, there is a request on the horizon to provide newer versions of the compat-wireless stack via LBM. Prepare for this by allowing multiple versions of compat-wireless to be packaged.

Impact: There should be no risk of regression as linux-backports-modules is an elective install. Additionally, newer backported versions of the compat-wireless stack will not have previously existed.

Test Case: Build the linux-backports-modules package and note that multiple versions of the compat-wireless stack can be produced if enabled.
