No, I mean a way to go from let's say kernel-source-2.4.3 to
kernel-source-2.4.4 without the need to download the whole big .deb,
but a patch similar to those patches found on kernel.org, but as a
debian package which the patches the installed kernel-source-2.4.3 and
provides kernel-source-2.4.4. You may ask why I don't take the patches
from kernel.org and apply them. Well won't work (at least for debian
kernel-source-2.4.3 I wasn't able to patch to 2.4.4...)
Thanks,
Matthias
