Thanks for the vote of confidence, Tom. By the way, I think a lot of the confusion in this thread comes from the fact that a linux kernel source package in Debian is classified as a *binary* package. Therefore, it is not installed with "apt-get source", and you must be root to install it. For example, # aptitude install linux-source-3.2 There is a corresponding Debian source package for this binary package, of course, and it is called, believe it or not, linux-2.6! You can install this Debian source package, if you want, by means of $ apt-get --only-source source linux-2.6 At the time of this writing, the version of this source package in the Wheezy archive is 3.2.18-1, which contains kernel source code from upstream kernel version 3.2.18. This issue, and many other "gotchas", are documented on the above- mentioned web page. If you plan to use make-kpkg or "make deb-pkg" to build the kernel, the "binary" package is the one you want to install. -- .''`.
