Kernel packages are special: http://wiki.debian.org/HowToRebuildAnOfficialDebianKernelPackage > 1.

I have built a 2.6.26 openvz kernel with the ppp support (a single supplementary patch): The patch on the source package: https://svn.ac-grenoble.fr/svn/slis/slis/sources/trunk/backports/patches/linux-2.6_2.6.26-15~slis41+1.patch The source package: http://ftp.slis.fr/slis/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-2.6_2.6.26-15~slis41+1.dsc The binary package: http://ftp.slis.fr/slis/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-image-2.6.26-slis.1-openvz-686_2.6.26-15~slis41+1_i386.deb I would like this patch to be added in a point release update given it's only a supplementary feature in the -openvz kernel and should not disturb anything else. But it's not in line with the traditional stable update policy so I did not bother to propose it up to now. Dann, what's your stance on this ?
