Package: kernel-tree-2.6.8
Version: 2.6.8-12
Severity: important
The description of this package says:
a complete kernel tree with Debian patches applied will be available
after this package is installed.
However, this package only downloads the kernel-source and the
kernel-pache packages, and it doesn't extract the kernel source
into a suitable location, nor apply Debian patches.
I think this package should have a postinst script.

This seems pretty bogus to me.
Firstly, the patches do not need to be applied
because they are already applied to the tarball.
And in any case there are scripts provided by
these packages which allow you to patch and unpatch
the tree.
Secondly, it says the tree and patches will be available.
They are.
tar -jxf /usr/src/kernel-source-X.Y.A.tar.bz2
That seems pretty available to me.
Sure it could unpack them, but after one build you
would likely have trampled all over them. So surely
it is better to provide them in an unscathed form,
as they are in the tarball, and allow the user to
unpack them as they are required.
In sort the package does what it claims to do
and I am closing your bug accordingly.
