That's the crux of the matter. The current situation is broken because it makes it difficult to add extra patches to the kernel-source package without removing the entirity of the Debian patch, not because the kernel-source package isn't vanilla. There is no good reason for the grsec patch to require a vanilla kernel tree, merely one that is slightly less patched than the current Debian one. The right way to deal with this is to be able to trivially patch and unpatch the kernel source as required during building. -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED]
