This is exactly the harm that has been done. Keeping the updated files on the overlay is not a good idea.

Though, there is one problem. rm of files on overlay sometimes produces 'Segmentation fault'. It could be also noticed on removing opkg packages. But I think (wild guess!) it's because of mismatching between mini_fo module and kernel from 5.0.4, so it's not the bug...

From what we know about the kernel update in 5.0.4 it seems unlikely to cause something like that on it's own. (Unless there's something important we don't know about the kernel update.) Can you confirm it didn't happen in 5.0.3? Also, can you reproduce this reliably on new and fresh overlay image? Can this be the result of the previous OTA update? (You do not specify the exact procedure of recreating the image.)
I for myself don't plan to update to 5.0.4 (or any other version) any time soon so I will need somebody else to investigate.

OK, there are some more problems  When I've tried to install patch package (from NSLU repository), maintainer scripts whined about missing /opt/bin/update-alternatives.
I've fixed it in clone of HG repo at https://bitbucket.org/katey_hack/nyoxi-kindle-packages/ (it's both clone and web-interface URL).

Thanks for the changes, I pulled them all. I'll update the package sometime next week.
Yes, this is intentional. The location of the repository will change and the repository you mentioned will sereve only for my own tests (if at all). For the moment there isn't anything too interesting anyway and anyone interested let's say in the opkg-gui can add the URL to the repository manualy.
Thanks for the report!
