[18:19:02 /tmp]$ grep-available -PX kernel-patch-kdb | tail -16 | head   
 .
 Officially supported kernel versions for kdb 1.2 are 2.3.99-pre2 and
 2.4.0-test1, but versions close enough to those may (or may not)
 work.  Please look at /use/share/doc/kernel-patch-kdb/README.Debian
 for more info.
 .
 Version 0.6 of kdb is also provided for those with a 2.2.13 kernel.
 It known not to apply on 2.2.14 and 2.2.15, but seems to apply to
 2.2.12.
