Why not just include a tarball of the source rather than as a debian
package. Then people can't complain that Debian messed something up since
they did it all by themselves. To make the kernel-source package all they
would have to do is download the diff.gz and do that dpkg-source,
dpkg-buildpackage thing.
If we have room for the 2.1 kernel I think we should put it on since it will
save people downloading about 11MB (or 9.5? for the bz2 version).
