I expect this is right.  My goal is to be able to use standard lenny (which 
will ship as Debian stable in a few weeks) kernel.

I am currently looking into whether I can create a UML kernel which runs 
reliably enough to do building on lenny 32-bit and 64-bit systems.  I am 
optimistic but am currently having difficulty coming up with a UML kernel 
which will (i) build, and (ii) run scratchbox for a whole GPE build without 
hitting a kernel panic or breaking scratchbox.
