(1) Get the kernel-image-2.4.22 package that you want to "convert", unpack
it manually (dpkg-deb -x) and grab the boot/config-2.4.22-blah file from
it. You can delete the rest.
(2) Get kernel-source-2.4.22 from Sid and install it.
(3) Install kernel-package and the initrd stuff from Woody.
(4) Untar the kernel source in /usr/src, and copy the config from above
into your kernel tree as "kernel-source-2.4.22/.config" (note the dot).
(5) make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version -$WHATEVER --config oldconfig \
kernel_image kernel_headers kernel_doc
(6) Clean up. Kill /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.22 and install your shiny
new *.debs.
Phew, I hope I didn't forget anything ;-) You might have to fiddle with
the initrd stuff a bit to get it working. Being impatient, I simply
changed the kernel config to link all modules which are required for
booting statically. That's not how it's supposed to be done, but I was
compiling my own kernel anyway...
