Not exactly an answer you would expect, and probably not applicable in your case (where I think you really have an issue), but something you may want to consider when assuming things based on words found in some packages: in the /usr/src/linux directory do this:

root@my_box# find . -type f -print |xargs grep -i 'fuck'

and see what you can find. You can then replace the word above with others, similarly colorful, and you'll see how imaginative the Linux developers could be ;)
