I have patches for 2.6.18rc3 but haven't yet test booted the
result. The 2.6.15/16 patches though work fine in productive use
here. Maybe you missed something.

If it doesn't get included in the debian package then it has to divert
all file overlaps. e2fsprogs is required so conflicting with that
would be problematic for dpkg/apt I think.
