1. install the package(s) kernel-patch-<version> for the version(s) you need
2. look in the files
/usr/src/kernel-patches/all/<version>/debian/series/*
for a list of patches that are applied to get the corresponding Debian
kernel tree;
"+" means patch will be applied,
"-" means patch will be applied in reverse
"X" has special meaning: the named file will be deleted when
building official Debian kernel-source packages
3. the patches themselves are located in
/usr/src/kernel-patches/all/<version>/debian/*
4. if you have an unpacked kernel tree, you can switch it forward and
back between the revisions of the Debian kernel tree as given by the
sequence files, by running
/usr/src/kernel-patches/all/<version>/apply/debian <ktver>
where version is the upstream kernel version and <ktver> is the
Debian kernel tree revision you would like to reproduce.
These steps should apply to at least 2.4.27, though they may also be
valid for other versions.
Hope this helps,
Mirko
