  but i specifically *don't* want to build from a fixed package.  i
want to use an up-to-date clone of some git repo as a basis so i can
keep pulling on a regular basis to pick up new developments (and i
*want* the git history that comes with that).

  ideally, i'd prefer to use the main linus repository, of which i
have a clone.  as plan b, as i mentioned, it would be a
ubuntu-specific git repo, so that i can *still* keep up, and even pull
from other repos.  using a fixed package gives me no freedom to update
the source like that.

  i'm not saying that the result needs to be perfect.  it just needs
to be bootable, and i can hack it from there.
