Download Source Package linux-2.6.24:
This meta package is used as a build dependency of Debian linux-image packages to prevent a version discrepancy between the linux-image and corresponding linux-sources packages in the fast-moving unstable archive. The package's dependency relations are structured so that a linux-image package's build dependencies can always be satisfied, even if the linux-source package that had been used to compile the image has been superseeded by a newer Debian revision since the last build.
The package provides a list of virtual packages, corresponding to Debian revisions of a linux-source package. The Debian linux-patch contains the information needed to roll back the current linux-source to any of the revisions identified by the provided virtual packages. Therefore, the linux-tree package ensures the availability of the Linux kernel source tree corresponding to each of the virtual packages listed.
The package serves no purpose outside of the Debian build and archive infrastructure.
