kernel backporting on etch with "apt-get source"

[Stefan Kluth <skluth@mppmu.mpg.de>]

Hi,

I have found a way to re-create the "official" linux-image*.deb 
packages using the apt-get source command [1]:

#!/bin/bash
apt-get source -t unstable linux-image-2.6.24-1-686-bigmem
cd linux-2.6-2.6.24
fakeroot debian/rules debian/build debian/stamps
fakeroot make -f debian/rules.gen binary-arch_i386_none_686-bigmem
exit

which will create

linux-image-2.6.24-1-686-bigmem_2.6.24-2_i386.deb
linux-headers-2.6.24-1-686-bigmem_2.6.24-2_i386.deb

However, I can't install 
linux-headers-2.6.24-1-686-bigmem_2.6.24-2_i386.deb, because it 
depends on

linux-headers-2.6.24-1-common_2.6.24-2_i386.deb

and I could not figure out how to build this package using the 
makefile system of the debian kernel source.  I downloaded the 
package from the repository and could continue, but I would like to be 
able to actually build linux-headers-2.6.24-1-common myself to avoid 
inconsistencies.  I tried the "binary-indep" target, but without 
success.

Any ideas?

Cheers, Stefan
