I always wondered but never track down. So I did.
After adding deb-src lines in /etc/apt/sources.list
# apt-get source kernel-source-2.x.y
Or browse through debian ftp site and download from /pool (with midnight
commander) and *.orig.gz *.dsc *.diff and play with "dpkg-source -x"
This .diff is combined patch. Unlike mc and glibc package, kernel does
not use indivisual package approoch but uses combined one which is
standard in debian ;-)
