Dapper Kernel Backports?

[John Dong]

I'm currently looking for people who are willing to "mock up" the process --
current challenge is building a linux-restricted-modules package that does
not conflict with existing Dapper packages -- probably means using dapper
(dapper-security, actually) l-r-m sources and making it only build the
linux-restricted-modules packages and not the other ones that usually spew
out with it.
