So far I also understood it, but I had the impression this mode change 
was introduced with a security fix. Further looking into it, I know this 
assumption is wrong(and related to a broken mirror of mine) - in Etch 
since the release there was ever only a PAE Kernel - this didn't change 
just in a security fix...
