use your friendly package manager (synaptic) to install the package linux-source-2.6.yourversion. instead of working as root you should unpack the .tar.bz2-file that is installed under /usr/src as your normal user in your normal user home directory. use make-kpkg to compile and build installable packages.

you can do like this:
ln -s yourkernel linux
cd linux
bunzip2 -dv /your patch 's path/patch-2.6.10-bk4.bz2 |patch -p1
if your patch is in /usr/src,you should use -p0 instead of -p1
