I see.  That LSM package must depend on a different kernel image.
Otherwise, it should "just work" (TM).

Maybe so.

Although I use and like Debian, I don't really understand the details
of their packaging system.  Guenter Geiger created the realtime-lsm
package, and can probably answer all your questions.  But, I think he
may be on vacation right now.

I maintain the CVS version of realtime-lsm, which I build from vanilla
kernel.org sources.  Because I only have one machine available for
this task, and I need to maintain a pure tool-chain and build
environment for the kernel.org build, so I don't use the Debian
packages and don't really understand how they work.

If you want to roll your own kernel and build the LSM using that, I
can tell you exactly what to do.  That works with Debian, but does not
integrate neatly into their packaging system the way building from
Debian sources would.  It's not bad, though.  The Debian developers
make sure the two methods can coexist peacefully.

My guess is that realtime-lsm has some build or install dependency on
a different kernel from the one you're using.  It may be worth your
while to install that, just to see if you can get everything working
that way before you go back to struggling with 2.6.6.

reason I don't see any of this stuff in the standard Debian
`sources.list' repository for woody, sarge or sid right now (maybe
just something strange with my system.)
