seconded - Debian should be the prime target. Best infectiousness and less 
danger of veering into bloat/feature creep space.

for instance, we'll likely get it out of the Mint package stream for free 
eventually, which would be a big plus; you never know, maybe even an arm build

there's another reason: I never understood what the value of 'Ubuntu packaged 
kernels' actually is, and that is a major work item, very distro-specific and 
of unclear upside; in the case of the xenomai 3.5.7 kernel John eventually 
dropped the Ubuntu specific patches and we still have to see an issue
