You can indeed get the kernel patches, by grabbing the source to the
linux kernel. So if you want the kernel source to a 686-based kernel,
you would type:

sudo apt-get source linux-image-2.6.8.1-3-686.

This Downloads the source, configs, and patches. The patches can be
found in the debian/patches subdirectory of the kernel source directory
that gets created upon download.
