Is this likely to break any dependencies? I don't think I have any patches installed - I seem to remember that these are all source packages. If there's no problem I'll use this method.
Maybe the patched kernel needs to be installed manually to prevent systems with automatic updating from installing a new kernel without user intervention?? I think some distros do this.
