This is very useful info.  How does one find out or know the differences
between  stock debian  kernel-source  packages and  the official  Linus'
sources ?  Is  it said somewhere that the  debian kernel-source contains
this, this and these patches ?  Is it not that the extra patches for the
kernel are given as seperate .deb packages ?

Thnx anyway...
