It looks exhausting. I was never inclined to get a Debianized kernel and that thread reinforces my inclinations. I am motivated to know what's running and reject things I don't need or want. kernel.org works for me. Backporting from a higher rev kernel into a lower rev kernel and advertising it as though it's really the lower rev kernel is deceptive. There should be a warning label B-).
