They’re on debian-ports, not debian.org, of course.

There are some use*ful* new dependencies: stuff to generate the
initramfs, which is now REQUIRED for the Debian distro kernel.

A self-compiled monolithic kernel will run fine, sure, but we
switched to requiring an initrd for 3.10 in Debian.

This *will* not work with etch-m68k.

Also, the *.deb files are now xz compressed instead of gzip,
which needs squeeze or newer.
