You're welcome. The Debian kernel team doesn't particularly care for it,
and if you you read it all the way through, particularly step 10,
you can probably guess why. But Manoj Srivastava, author and maintainer
of kernel-package, liked it well enough to include an earlier version
of this web page in kernel-package itself. The above link, however,
will always be the most current and up-to-date version of the document.
I will probably update it again next week if the fix for Debian bug number
505609 is included in the stable point release for Lenny which is
scheduled for this weekend.
