Yes. Go to http://packages.debian.org/unstable/devel/kernel-source-2.6.9 and read the "More information" section. There you can see that kernel-source-2.6.9 consists of [kernel-source-2.6.9_2.6.9.orig.tar.gz] which is identical to linux-2.6.9.tar.gz from kernel.org, and [kernel-source-2.6.9_2.6.9-1.diff.gz] which are the debian-specific modifications to the source package. > Will the linux-* source files compile and build properly using the > kernel-package tools?

There are only experimental sources on kernel.org and 2.6.9 is the latest stable version (which is also available as kernel-source.deb). See the link above to download it from your preferred debian mirror. joerg
