OK, thanks for the info.

Could someone CC debian-user with an announcement (in addition to
debian-kernel) if 'kernel-archive' ever reappears?
Too bad you couldn't get a directory on a Linux Kernel Organization
server, like here
http://www.kernel.org/pub/dist/
or here
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/
Seems like Debian Kernel Team activities are exactly the sort of thing
that belongs on kernel.org servers anyway. Just a thought...
Thanks for the reply,
Dave W.
PS: I did not receive your reply in my inbox, but found it browsing the
debian-kernel ML archive (lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2009/10/). It
was not spam-blocked by my ISP (AT&T/Yahoo), so I don't know where it
went. Occasionally, I have had replies from maintainers sent via the
BTS disappear on me as well. Bummer.
