Applying speakup 2.0 patch on debian kernel 2.6.16 failed

I have a standing checkout script called checkout-date which I have
permenantly modified to include the date parm on the cvs command line
and a variable declaration at the top of the script for ease of use.

Near the top, I have
DATE=2006-01-01

Then down at the cvs command line, mine was changed to look like this.

cvs co -D $DATE -P speakup || exit

This works every time for me.  While I was trying to use old kernels
recently, I would look to see when the kernel was produced at
ftp.kernel.org and then set the date in the checkout script to be a week
or so later than that and hope I would get good patches.  I was quite
successful doing that.
