As the maintainer of kernel-patch-2.4-preempt, I also received a lot of bugs report of the same type. I see you are generating your kernel-patch with dh-kpatches. Yann Dirson recently added (in version 0.99.27) the possibility to provide two patches, one for the vanilla kernel, the other for the Debian kernel. The field to use is Debian-patch-file (you could find more details in the documentation). I don't know if your patch is easily adaptable to the Debian kernel, but it could be a solution. However it's only a technical solution, it doesn't answer the question "why there is a lot of patches in the Debian kernel?". Cheers, Aurelien
