The kernel patch adds a full jpeg decoder and adds horrible hooks to the
console subsystem, the fbdev subsystem and vesafb. And it works only
with vesafb, thus it's x860only. And Debian has modular vesafb for
space reasons so it doesn't work with Debian at all.

No. If you want to backport the DM changes from current BK I wouldn't
mind including it, OTOH as long as we don't have anything like a sarge
release schedule I'm not too happy to use my own time for doing
backports of feature myself.
