Really, the package system for debian is pretty easy and when you've got a package already most of the work is already done.. Make a couple of edits to the control files and build. The kernel-utils make it easy: make-kpkg clean && make-kpkg kernel-image modules-image && dpkg -i ../kernel-image.deb ../modules-image.deb && reboot or portions thereof. > > I'm not sure how to work this into debian longterm.

I would More like get every kernel package builder to carry the realtime-lsm source.
