Do you provide a custom kernel specially adapted to the Eee PC hardware?
Maintaining a custom kernel for special hardware is much more work then just finding the right configuration and compiling kernels. Think of backporting all mainstream and Debian patches and all the related testing needed to really support such a kernel over some time. As we aim to fully support the Eee in Debian itself and not a fork of Debian, we cannot depend on a custom kernel. Such a kernel would never be a part of Debian.
