great! Let me know if you need any help.
I won't be reachable on Thursday and Friday. We can eventually set up a
mini-mini meeting on IRC for the weekend if necessary ;)

Oh, and the Architecture field needs to be modified accordingly :)

My steps to update the .config are:

1. debian/rules unpack
2. cp config.i386 linux-source-<kversion>
3. cd linux-source-<kversion>
4. make oldconfig menuconfig ARCH=um
5. poke with the configuration, adding/removing/etc. options
6. save and exit
7. cp .config ../config.i386

Now, starting with config.i386 and changing the host processor type may
be probably enough, but giving it a real run is better yet :)
