Rebuilding the official Debian 2.6.23 kernel package

[Hugo Vanwoerkom <hvw59601@care2.com>]

Hi,

In <2.6.23 kernels this site told you how to rebuild the Debian kernel 
package:

http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html#s-common-official

In 2.6.23 I can no longer do it. It fails this:

fakeroot make -f debian/rules.gen setup-i386-none-686

That flavor no longer exists.

Replacing it with:

fakeroot make -f debian/rules.gen setup_i386_none_686

the patching operation fails with:

...

And true enough that tg3.c just is not the same.

Has anybody tried this or am I the first one?
