I am interested in building a cleaned out kernel for the distro that

I've been going through the firmware-removed[1] list. Some strike me as
a bit odd for being removed, but perhaps it is because gnewsense is
using the upstream ubuntu kernel which may have more 0xFF in it than the
vanilla kernel. In fact, a number of files listed in firmware-removed
don't appear in the 2.6.19.2 kernel.
What I am wondering is if there is any patch that gnewsense applies to
remove all of these bits. If there is, where is it? I went through the
source trees in archive, but I could only find ubuntu kernel patches.
Admittedly I'm not as familiar with how .deb builds it's packages so
perhaps that patch is just sitting there.
In sum, how can I apply the gnewsense kernel patch to a vanilla kernel?
Thanks,
-Jeff

download the builder source and look at the kernel-dev scrip (spelling
is roughly that). The script is written for the .15 kernel from dapper,
so the .19 may or may not work with it.
