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  ;-)
