	I've never seen any of the patch files in debianized form.  This
issue came up recently with a discussion of the size of 2.2.1
kernel (13meg).
	I do remember using the standard patch files released by Linus,
on the debianized kernel-source packages (2.0.x).  So you should
be able to do that.  Linus is close to releasing 2.2.2 so we will
find out soon whether this can be done with the 2.2.x series as
well.
