The interesting thing is that the new RT kernel, (and the Ubuntu one btw) are all Debian kernels. Ubuntu is after all just a 6 monthly snapshot of debian unstable, tweaked for stability in the months before every release. Free is an official Debian developer. All the work he does automatically gets included into debian. > The 64studio kernel is broadly appreciated, so it would be nice if the > builder hero's want to share there knowledge for Debian.

As we all know, all stable releases are not equal... but generally it prevents multiples of half finished packages to swamp debian servers. The 2.6.29 kernel was only recently released, and when the RT kernel patch based on the stable kernel is released, it should be approved.
