Well part of the problem with not including the newer driver is that I'm pretty
sure *most* new dell servers (2850 and 1850 lines atleast) ship with the Perc
4Di controller, which only works with the new megaraid driver.  I'm pretty sure
the 2850 and 1850 have been shipping for atleast like 6 months, so I'm guessing
they're pretty common.  I know knoppix will boox up fine on one of these boxes
(2.4 kernel I believe... so obviously a different beast).

I think you'll find this to a problem a number of people (who have fancy new
hardware) complain about.  You could have a driver disk or something people can
supply with the megaraid2 kernel modules installed on it for people to use while
doing the install.
