    If you apt-get install linux-patch-debian-2.6.14, this contains the
    Debian patches (in /usr/src/kernel-patches) that are applied to Debian
    linux-source-2.6.14.orig.tar.gz.

    "This package includes the patches used to produce the prepackaged
    linux-source-2.6.14 package, as well as architecture-specific patches.
    Note that these patches do NOT apply against a pristine Linux 2.6.14
    kernel but only against the kernel tarball
    linux-source-2.6.14_2.6.14.orig.tar.gz from the Debian archive".
