I notice there is a source package for the kernel and a package of debian patches. Has the kernel source already been patched or would one need to patch it with all of the included debian patches when building a custom kernel?


It's already patched.

Doublechecking, you are absolutely positive?



Read the files README.Debian and Debian.src.changelog in the kernel source directory.

If those files exist, and if their contents suggest that the kernel has been patched (they do here), then the kernel source has already been patched.
