Haha, very funny. kernel-source-2.4.22-1: Never gets modified. Only uploaded once. kernel-source-debian-2.4.22-1: Gets modified as needed, when new features/fixes come out. The latter depends on the former. This will *reduce* mirror traffic. Keeping it all in one *increases* mirror traffic, as a small change(fix or feature) requires uploading the entire source.
