However, please have a look at Section 4. For the more adventurous there is an easy way to compile your own custom kernel on Debian. Install the kernel sources, provided in the linux-source package. You can make use of the deb-pkg target available in the sources' makefile for building a binary package. More information can be found in the Debian Linux Kernel Handbook , which can also be found as the debian-kernel-handbook package.

If possible, it is to your advantage to upgrade the kernel package separately from the main dist-upgrade to reduce the chances of a temporarily non-bootable system.

While nothing prevents you from continuing to use an obsolete package where desired, the Debian project will usually discontinue security support for it a year after jessie's release [5] , and will not normally provide other support in the meantime. Replacing them with available alternatives, if any, is recommended.

There are many reasons why packages might have been removed from the distribution: they are no longer maintained upstream; there is no longer a Debian Developer interested in maintaining the packages; the functionality they provide has been superseded by different software or a new version ; or they are no longer considered suitable for jessie due to bugs in them.
