Folding at 72th char will be nice :)
Of course the SOURCE is available. It's Debian, It's GNU!
$ apt-get source kernel-image-2.4.17-686-smp
should give you exact source. But this is very complicated (Not for me,
leave this for Herbert Xu)
But most likely, all you need to do is use "source package" and copy
configuration off your current one as:
# cp /boot/config-2.4.17-686-smp /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.17/.config
# make menuconfig
...
