Thanks Sven! I was confused by the description of linux-patch-debian-2.6.12
at http://packages.debian.org/unstable/devel/linux-patch-debian-2.6.12
which seem to indicate that I need to apply them. Does that package
need to be removed from the archive or something? (Or maybe I'm just
confused....)

Is that what is used to build the standard kernels?

That is a big help, it's compiling away now. It would have taken me
forever to find the subarch name.
