Here is what I did (sort of).
cd /usr/src
apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.20
wget ftp://kalle.csb.ki.se/pub/linux/debian/pool/main/f/freeswan/freeswan_1.99-5_i386.deb
wget ftp://kalle.csb.ki.se/pub/linux/debian/pool/main/f/freeswan/kernel-patch-freeswan-ext_1.99-5_all.deb
wget ftp://kalle.csb.ki.se/pub/linux/kernel/people/hvr/testing/patch-int-2.4.20.1.gz
wget ftp://kalle.csb.ki.se/pub/linux/kernel/people/hvr/testing/loop-jari-2.4.20.0.patch
cd kernel-source-2.4.20
zcat ../patch-int-2.4.20.1..gz | patch -p1
patch -p1 < ../loop-jari-2.4.20.0.patch
../kernel-patches/all/apply/freeswan
make-kpkg --config menuconfig --append_to_version -fw-1 kernel_image
or
PATCH_THE_KERNEL=YES make-kpkg --config menuconfig --append_to_version -fw-1 --added_patches freeswan kernel_image
