David Odin has updated the patch to 2.4.13 [1], and I have created Debian-packages [2] with a Debian-like design. They're still preliminary, but work with 2.4.17. If you don't like the design, apply the patch and exchange the linux_logo.h with a new one you can create with fblogo [3] (view README and README.Debian in the patch-packages for further information, there's more work to it...) Good luck!
