I'm afraid that you misunderstand my problem.  I know how to build
custom kernels/modules with make-kpkg.  My job, however, is to build the
official PCMCIA modules for Debian.  Therefore, I need the configuration
files used by Herbert to build the kernels in the kernel-image-*
packages.  I used to get these files from the kernel-patch-*-i386
packages (more specifically, from the sources of these packages), but
they are no longer in the Debian archive.

Thanks,
