If you only want to run potato with a 2.4 kernel, then you might want to
take a look at
deb http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main
deb-src http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main
There you'll find potato packages for almost any software you need to
run a 2.4 kernel taken from sid and recompiled for potato. I use for
two month now on my router, firewall, fileserver, etc. and it works
flawlessly.
