Ubuntu now offering mainline kernel builds

The Ubuntu kernel team is making packages of mainline kernels available to facilitate testing. The kernel source for each stable release (and -stable updates) as well as Linus's releases (including each -rc) will be built into .deb packages for easy installation. "This will allow users to run the unmodified upstream vanilla kernel. This can be useful for verifying fixes upstream, testing for regressions introduced by Ubuntu specific changes, or confirming bugs exist upstream and subsequently help to report bugs upstream."
