This is always true.

Actually this may be better way to document since required source
mechanism may change again.  Thanks.

Question is should I document it in DR now?  Since new Debian kernel
comes with good documentation.  I do not compile kernel any more
thesedays anyway.

Aside from this kernel compile thing, I realize aptitude support
build-dep since 15 Mar 2008.  (I always use apt-get for such thing
though...)
