This

2.6.21-5), nor did it happen with the previous debian kernel in testing
(2.6.18-something, I think).

please checkout 2.6.22 kernel, sid has it since long.
reporting against *old* versions doesn't help.
if it still doesn't work you can get trunk 2.6.23-rc2 
see apt lines -> http://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernel
This provides headers, images and some modules for 2.6.23 but where is the source, I would like to build my own. 

The Debian source packages are available at the same location. Just use
a deb-src line instead of a deb one.

Gruesse,

Thanks a lot for your prompt answer.
I still can't see the sources ("apt-cache search 2.6.23 | grep -i source") but I noticed that linux-kbuild-2.6.23 is not available either: 

cathedral:/etc/apt# apt-get install linux-kbuild-2.6.23
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package linux-kbuild-2.6.23 is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source 
E: Package linux-kbuild-2.6.23 has no installation candidate
Something already mentioned here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2007/08/msg00710.html 

I guess I won't be able to build a 2.6.23 kernel until it's in sid .

Cheers

Philippe
