When I already have a linux-*.tar.bz2 on a CD from a computer magazine, I'm happy about not having to download an additional 40 megs (takes about two hours here!), especially when 40 K of diffs would also do the job. Well, the kernel-source-2.*.orig.tar.gz is obtained from the linux-*.tar.bz2 by runing the prune-non-free script on it, so you could do the exact same thing we debian/kernel developers do, and run that script on the pristine upstream sources. So could the kernel team consider providing such diffs? (Doesn't have to be as a .deb) No, since providing such a .diff result in distributing the undistributable firmware.

Package: kernel-patch-debian-2.6.11 Version: 2.6.11-5 Severity: normal Hi, I am surprised by the package description which says: Note that these patches do NOT apply against a pristine Linux 2.6.11 kernel but only against kernel-source-2.6.11_2.6.11.orig.tar.gz from the Debian archive. In fact, the patch applies to a pristine source without any errors. And, well, until today I thought that the kernel-patch-debian packages actually do contain the differences between the vanilla sources and Debian's kernel sources. Is this not true? If not, why does the patch apply cleanly?
