Reopen.
The instructions in README.source (the first part) are
explicitly about how to upgrade the package to a new *upstream*
source tarball from kernel.org and turning that into a
Debian-form tarball usable with the rest of the package.
Therefore rejecting this bug with reference to all *other* parts
of the package being for Debian pre-packaged kernel sources is
nonsense.
