Ooops, you're right.

I consider kernel-patch preferable to kernel-image, because it means
that, for example, people can try to also apply kernel-patch-int or
whatever it's called these days.

They're marked as having Source: kernel-source-2.2.14 here... it's not

I didn't even try an APUS build.  Console stuff did install all right,
though, and even the keymaps seem ok.

There's a new ppc boot floppies in incoming if anyone wants to try
them.  I really doubt they can be worse than what we have in the
