Actually, now that this has been commitd, the following might be a better test:

dget http://kernel-archive.buildserver.net/debian-kernel/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-2.6_2.6.26-16~snapshot.13458.dsc
dpkg-source -x linux-2.6_2.6.26-16~snapshot.13458.dsc
apt-get build-dep linux-2.6
cd linux-2.6-2.6.26
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us -B

The snapshot # might change between now and the time you fetch it -
you can check for the latest "Package / lenny" version here:
