And I had to invent a way to install the preempt-rt kernel, which turned out to have a few gotcha's but which is a heck of a lot simpler than trying to make a deb out of it. My way takes that 30 meg tarball, and the sd card in a reader, and amazingly, because apt doesn't know about it, it doesn't try to muck it up with even newer kernels the aren't fully preemptible.
