Comment 56 for bug 554023

If I go here, https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/2.6.32-12.17,
and download https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/linux_2.6.32.orig.tar.gz
this is not revision 17, this is revision 0 or 1 , right?
How do I apply patches or revs to get that souce code tar ball up to rev 17?
(sorry)
and then I would just run these 3 commands:

   make mrproper
   fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-doggy kernel-image kernel-headers

   then install whatever .deb file is lying around, via `sudo dpkg -i *.deb`
   ?
