Believe me, it is.

I certainly would love to have such an automated process. It would
reduce my work load greatly. I'll volunteer to provide whatever help I
can to make this a reality.

It is a pain, but I've automated most of the process for the pcmcia
packages. My scheme involves a makefile and a couple of patches for the
Debian kernel sources. The patches have already been submitted as bug
reports, but thus far, most of the sources have not incorporated them or
have incorporated them incorrectly.
