I should probably tweak the message and logic a bit to be less scary and
normal. It is mostly for people trying to build head packages from a 10
kernel which is easily not supported and usually results in obscure
failures like 'why is rm or this other basic tool not working?'.

Even on head these kinds of things have happened but it is very rare.
The last was due to capsicum changes a few years ago.
