I don't know where you got the idea that Debian used to distribute the kernel as it is. Just like every other distribution, we have always needed (mostly small) changes to the vanilla kernel. We do send those changes suitable for general consumption to the upstream maintainers. Whether they are accepted is an entirely different question. -- Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 is out!
