As soon as you start patching the kernel, it does not really make
sense to absolutely pick the same kernel version as Debian, you can
just as well compile a mainline version with a Debian-like
modularized configuration. Actually, I provided exactly that for one
version of Xenomai, but the amount of downloads was ridiculous, so I
do not believe this is what users are after, either.
