Hi,
the situation with 2.6.8 is basically that upstream has moved
so far since that release, that backporting is typically difficult.
If you want to look into making a backport, and it is reasonably
clean, I would be more than happy to look at incoporate such
a think in sarge updates of 2.6.8 (that kernel is not long
for the testing/unstable trees).
However, we are really encouraging people to try 2.6.12 (and soon 2.6.13).
2.6.12 is in testing and unstable. And a sarge backport is available,
though we haven't found a permanent home for it yet.
