Come si usa il linux-tree??

[sond <sondster@gmail.com>]

Salve, continuando ad avere problemi con i kernel prelevati da 
kernel.org vorrei provare ad usare i sorgenti del kernel forniti da 
debian. Mi sono imbattuto in un linux-tree-2.6.12 che nella descrizione 
riporta così:

#######################################################################
Description: Linux kernel source tree for building Debian kernel images
 This meta package is used as a build dependency of Debian linux-image
 packages to prevent a version discrepancy between the linux-image and
 corresponding linux-sources packages in the fast-moving unstable 
archive.
 The package's dependency relations are structured so that a linux-image
 package's build dependencies can always be satisfied, even if the
 linux-source package that had been used to compile the image has been
 superseeded by a newer Debian revision since the last build.
 .
 The package provides a list of virtual packages, corresponding to 
Debian
 revisions of a linux-source package.  The Debian linux-patch contains 
the
 information needed to roll back the current linux-source to any of the
 revisions identified by the provided virtual packages.  Therefore, the
 linux-tree package ensures the availability of the Linux kernel source
 tree corresponding to each of the virtual packages listed.
 .
 The package serves no purpose outside of the Debian build and archive
 infrastructure.

Installandolo mi ritrovo la cartella kernel-patches in /usr/src/ con 
dentro varie patch decompresse e altre compresse. Bisogna applicarle 
una ad una? E in questo caso quali? Grazie per l'aiuto.
