That seems > like a different issue to me. No, this is the issue. I want the kernel sources to be what they promise, and not what Herbert wants them to be. I can opt-in on have the bells and whistles Herbert thinks should belong in every kernel-image, but if I don't make that choice, I want to have the kernel-source with just the security fixes. After all, Debian is known for two things: purity and security. I don't see the first one applying to kernel-source, and given that IPsec is in beta state, I don't see the second either. Moreover: 2.4 users have the choice to run IPsec: FreeS/WAN works just fine, and it happily coexists with grsecurity. It's also just another IPsec stack. Weird, huh? Maybe the 2.5 IPsec stack does patch more than add an IPsec stack?
