piglet:/# dpkg -p kernel-source-2.2.14
Package: kernel-source-2.2.14
[snip]
Description: Linux kernel source.
 This package provides the source code for the Linux kernel.
 .
 You may configure the kernel to your setup by typing "make config"
 and following instructions, but you could get ncursesX.X-dev and
 tk4X-dev and try "make menuconfig" for a jazzier, and easier to use
 interface. Also, on intel platforms, you MUST get bin86 if
            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 you wish to compile the kernel sources. Ignore the suggestion to get bin86
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 for non intel architectures. Also, please read the detailed documentation
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 /usr/share/doc/kernel-source-2.2.14/README.headers.gz.
 .
 If you wish to use this package to create a custom Linux kernel, then
 it is suggested that you investigate the package kernel-package,
 which has been designed to ease the task of creating kernel image
 packages.
