There's a kernel source package at llug.sep.bnl.gov in pub/debian/Incoming (probably other incoming mirrors as well). I doubt this has any patches which cause it to differ from the tgz version. I picked up the .tgz last week and compiled/installed it using kernel-package. I suppose some folks worry about having anything on their computer which wasn't installed from a package, but I can't see any real advantage to using kernel-source packages, unlike 2.0.33, which had a lot of patches applied to kernel-source (at least the latest version).
