I have downloaded the kernel.org source, applied the ACPI patch, then 
downloaded the debian diff.gz and applied it (a few warnings only). 
Then I had to rm -rf debian/ in the kernel source dir, make menuconfig 
and make-kpkg kernel-image. Voila, running kernel 2.4.21 with acpi AND 
debian patch...
