If you don't want to wait for 2.6.35 to be available from a Debian
source, you can get the 2.6.35 source from kernel.org and build a
kernel the Debian way. You could also be really lazy while waiting for
Debian to make 2.6.35 available and download a 2.6.35 deb from a
Ubuntu repository...

If you do use that script, you should remove the embedded sudos from
it. If you do use the script as is, you might want to increase sudo's
" timestamp_timeout" value.
http://www.wowway.com/~zlinuxman/Kernel.htm
is a good guide to building a kernel the Debian way. It is written by
d-u regular and is included in the kernel-package documentation as
/usr/share/kernel-package/docs/Kernel.htm
