Yes, correct. But I did something different: I updated the deb package that allows you create your own linux executable (from deb-source) or to have mine from deb. I asked a month ago to include my patch on official debian repository, testing and unstable, but still no answer from Matt. I sent 2 patches: one to support the 2.4.27 uml patch for its kernel version support, because on the stable (where you can not find the user-mode-linux deb) the supported kernel sources are for 2.4.27 and 2.6.8. Then I also provided a 2.6.12 patch to support that kernel version, too. This should allow user-mode-linux to be newly supported on unstable. I hope it is clear now. I can be a good idea, too, to use the resources you have just suggested.
