Well you can always install kernel-source-2.6.8 or whatever it is
called, and run the path-o-matic against it and then build it with
make-kpkg.  That way you get a kernel with all debian's fixes and your
new added iptables features.  Or if you prefer, go get the latest
kernel.org sources, and configure that as you want and build a .deb for
that instead.  Either works just fine.
