Strange why this package was installed. Could be something with repository ... Have you used armbian-config for kernel switching?
This is a result of some package relations anomaly, broken package ... not completely sure. If we don't know why it occurred its difficult to cure. But its fixable
No. We don't touch those images at all. We build images with the same packages relations which is why image is compatible.

https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/lib/debootstrap.sh#L140 + other scripts to make a final build
A lot. Every day. But at least testing is getting more and more automatised.
Yes, we are deep into this, most of people are highly experienced, working or worked in embedded development, hardware design or similar.
I can only claim starting it, being the ass who is pushing things around, while people involved in making it are from all over. We are also inter-dependent from larger Linux community. Not so much with Debian or other distributions. They are mainly focused to user space.
