First off, the kernel module.
That is now in the kernel so there is no need for kernel-module rpm's.

As for the epoch number on our version of fuse.  That was introduced by 
Paul Rombouts back in 2006.  I am not sure why, but since this same rpm 
was also used for fedora, and it mentions livna, I am suspecting that 
some other repository (livna, EPEL, dag, I don't know) already had an 
epoch in it.
