I have a few reasons for wanting to.
1. I want to be able to build it myself with (e.g.) custom vserver
packages - so as not to be dependent on Gerard's vserver kernel package
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VServer)
2. I wanted the latest SMP kernel (though I since found out it's
provided - I'm running it now)
The wiki pages, as I mentioned in the previous email, don't seem to work
- there seems to be some debian/* files missing from the git
repository. That's the thrust of my original query: is the git clone +
debian/rules binary-debs commands the recommended way to build the
current dapper kernel? if so it doesn't seem to work for me - though it
does for edgy kernel
