You could force it on using apr_cv_epoll=yes ./configure and such, but
ugh and eww.

Debian does have a minimum kernel version that's supported, and for Etch
(the previous release), that was «anything 2.6».  I don't know if there
is a tighter supported version for the current and next release, and
even if it is, it doesn't change the principle we're discussing here.
