This `messing up' probably happens because the debian kernels sometimes (always?) have a number of non-standard extra patches applied. The usual kernel patches that are distributed on sites where you can get the linux kernel source, are made with respect to `clean' kernels. What about having debian kernel-patch packages? Say I have 2.0.34 installed and I want to upgrade to 2.0.35. It could save some ftp time if I'd only needed to get kernel-source-patch2.0.34_2.0.35-1.deb, instead of the complete source. The installation script could offer the opportunity to generate a separate 2.0.35 tree, so that the old one still exists, or to just update the 2.0.34 tree and rename it to 2.0.35. Comments anyone?
