Yes, normally....
But for Hoary, Breezy kernels won't install. Because it needed newer 
modutils which needed newer glibc...

That's just a dependency problem, nothing more. Probably a rebuild on 
Breezy will do the trick if Dapper kernel doesn't install.

It would be nice if there could be an apt repo just containing the 
Dapper kernel, so it's easy to put it in sources.list on Breezy. What do 
you think?
Or am I alone in willing to test the Dapper kernel on Breezy?
