They're now available from the apt repository at

deb http://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/lemote/gnewsense metad main

Once you set it up in sources.list, you'll be able to do:

# apt-get install linux-image-2.6.31.8-libre2-lemote \
                  linux-image-2.6.32.1-libre-lemote

Now, beware: 2.6.32.* kernels require you to add machtype=8.9 in the
boot command line in order to deal with lemote yeeloong laptops
properly, as in, reporting battery, powering off, and probably more.
