What's in kernel-source-*-_all.deb?

Am I right in assuming that "kernel-source-2.x.xx_2.x.xx-6_all.deb" contains EVERYTHING by way of source (already patched) necessary to build the 2.x.xx kernel with make-kpkg?

You don't need to apt-get the other stuff, right?

all means all supported architectures. and yes, it's everything you need (well, of course, you'll also want make and a c compiler).

That depends on what "the other stuff" is...

Thanks. I was wondering about that "all"...

I meant the patch, headers etc .deb packages bearing the same version label that you find in the same i386 binary subdirectory of the repositories.
