You can give it a try, if you insist on having the Debian
modifications. I suppose, with careful manual merging it's
possible to get a working mule kernel.
However, it seems easier to start from the other direction:
download a vanilla -rc2 and merge the individual Debian-specific
patches with it (after you've checked it hasn't been applied by
kernel maintainers).
