The packages I have built are based on the mainline ubuntu kernel source
from which the -generic, -server and other flavours are generated.
If you run
apt-get source linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic
and download the diff.gz and .dsc files from the ppa a
debdiff linux_2.6.27-11.27.dsc linux-2.6.27-11.27~ppa2.dsc
shows you what I have changed exactly.

Hope this helps,
