I am using Debian kernel-source packages.

This is the Debian GNU/Linux prepackaged version of the Linux kernel.
Linux was written by Linus Torvalds <Linus.Torvalds@cs.Helsinki.FI> and
others.
This package was put together by Simon Shapiro <Shimon@i-Connect.Net>, from
sources retrieved from directories under
ftp.cs.helsinki.fi:/pub/Software/Linux/Kernel/
The sources may be found at most Linux ftp sites, including
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/

I was referring to 2.2.17 because I thought Debian kernel numbers are the
standard one. Yet after checking ftp.cs.helsinki.fi I tend to think that what
I have is a test version. Indeed, the package full name is 2.2.17pre6-1.
