    Following up on this a bit more...

    I don't know what kernel-latest-2.6-i386 is (maybe patches?) but it is
    definitely too small to be the full kernel source.

            $ apt-get -s source kernel-latest-2.6-i386
            Reading Package Lists...
            Building Dependency Tree...
            Need to get 3691B of source archives.
            Fetch Source kernel-latest-2.6-i386

    Sorry for the trouble. Maybe these are just packages the maintainers use
    to keep things up to date (since they don't show up properly in
    searches).
