Please read the thread before you post. kernel-tree packages do not
guarantee the latest source to be installed because their
dependencies are in the wrong order:

$ dpkg-query -W --showformat='${Depends}' kernel-tree-2.6.10
kernel-patch-debian-2.6.10 (= 2.6.10-4), 
  kernel-source-2.6.10 (= 2.6.10-1) |
  kernel-source-2.6.10 (= 2.6.10-2) |
  kernel-source-2.6.10 (= 2.6.10-3) |
  kernel-source-2.6.10 (= 2.6.10-4) |
  kernel-source-2.6.10 (= 2.6.10-5

What do you think will happen when kernel-source-2.6.10_2.6.10-1 is
already installed and you pull in kernel-tree-2.6.10 because you
"want to have the latest kernel source installed" ?
