This appears to be specific to the repository for the apps themselves. Generally I think it's good to download the deb file anyway, as then you'll be able to reinstall the exact deb again later if you need to.

Note that the deb files for kernelplus (and other apps) can be downloaded from https://apps.readynas.com/pages/?page_id=9

  ReadyNAS also maintains its own repositories with their own or own versions of Debian packages. Those seemed to work better than the open Debian source. For example, the virtual Readynas does not come will NTFS supported built in, and you can not install the ntfs-3g Debian package. Netgear has its own solution. They are available in Readynas repository.
