How about make a new source that is just the new kernel + it's
requirements? It would have been a lot easier to do 2.2 upgrades if we
could have just added
deb http:/www.debian.org/~slink22 kernel22-update main
to /etc/apt/sources.list to do the upgrade.
It seems to work well for the 3.3.x packages vincent maintains for
slink.
