Yes it's easy.

Yes I can both provide a draft package and/or build a patched
2.6-multimedia kernel(s) for testing. I'm not sure where the latter
package should go, whether in the Debian pool or in the A/DeMuDi one.
It would be nice to prepare this 2.6-multimedia kernel all together,
suggesting patches and config flags. I can prepare a first version of
the source package and put everything under CVS (Alioth or AGNULA).
I think I can start working on this at the end of the next week.
Cheers,
