Me too - if we have to have significantly modified kernels, they should
be labelled as being such.
If the issue here is the grsec patch distributed as a debian package
cannot cleanly apply to the debian kernel sources because they have been
significantly modified; why aren't those modifications distributed as
seperate kernel patches / debian packages in the same way grsec is?
