kernel package documentation

[Larry Doolittle <ldoolitt@recycle.lbl.gov>]

Guys -

Can someone give me a pointer to documentation on the AMD64 kernel
package builds on Alioth?  For generic debian packages, I can get
Changelogs from packages.debian.org.

Two specific questions, that I'd like to learn how to answer myself:

when I "apt-get upgrade"d today, including
kernel-image-2.6.8-10-amd64-k8 and kernel-image-2.6-amd64-k8,
the automagically generated /boot/grub/menu.lst changed my
default kernel from 2.6.9-9 to 2.6.8-10.  I don't know if this
is intended or desired.

Today's upgrade also gave me a new 2.6.9 kernel patch
(2.6.9-4), but no corresponding kernel image.  Is one on the
way?

Lastly, what are the plans regarding 2.6.10?  I'd really like
to start up SMART on my SATA drive.
