I guess I haven't been following along too closely. The idea
behind kernel image naming used to be that version 2.4.26 was a
different package from version 2.4.27, and thus was independent;
uploading 2.4.27 would in no way impact 2.4.26 uploads. Has this
been somehow changed?

Right. The kernel image name was related to the kernel
version, so that each kernel image package would own the
corresponding /lib/modules/$version dir. The kernel-image name is
really kernel-image-$version$extraversion, and it owns
/lib/modules/$version$extraversion.

Epochs have been created to work around versioning snafus.
