Chiaki-san,

Currently there are Debian packages for both 2.6.8 and 2.6.9.
The former is slated for inclusion in Sarge, the next stable
release of Debian. 2.6.9 is only available in unstable for people
to play with. I have put your patch into the SVN tree for the 
debian 2.6.9 package, and it should get included in the next release.

It is quite likely that 2.6.9 with 2.6.10 as soon as it is available -
after all it is only in unstable for people for play with and test.
