Is there information available anywhere about this? (Maybe some
thoughts on things of this nature could be added to the debian kernel
handbook as a FAQ).

Sorry to be a bother, I'm still confused. This thread has been helpful
though. Thanks...
Could you make the 2.6.35 package available in only sid? If as soon as
you put it in sid, it automagically tries to build it for testing and
stable -- then I could see how that would be a problem. In that case,
the proper thing to do might be to figure out how to solve that
problem.

A noticeable percentage of hardware sold today at any retail outlet

If this is not by your will, I wish you luck overcoming the blocking
obstacles since your 2.6.35 packages work so well.
Could you provide some guidance as to what to expect? For instance,
are there not likely to be newer versions of the kernel in sid until
after squeeze gets released?
