It's not a Debian repository, so you cannot use aptitude. You have to
download the .deb file manually and it install it with dpkg -i.

I suggest 2.6.25 from Debian unstable in this case. You'll find a
config file in /boot.

If you tell me which modules you need, I'll enable them. (There's also
a high chance that 2.6.25 will have the modules already.)
