Well, if they install a Debian packaed kernel source package,
it is documented in there. It is documented in the kernel-package
package. If you wish, I shall even add it to the kernel-image
package, about what one should do to upgrade the kernel the debian
way.
I have no objection to having the priority of kernel-package
be raised to standard for a Debian system. However, I can't really
propose this, since I am far from being unbiased; and I suspect one
would have t fight tooth and nail against people who prefer compiling
their kernel the good, old fashioned way, just like grandpa. Not a
fight I feel like fighting.
