I also spent a fair amount of time adding 2.2 kernel support to d-i.Nonetheless, the security team would rather not support three kernel versions. It's unclear whether they are willing to support 2.2 for m68k and sparc or not. I hope they decide to, otherwise about half our buildds will go without security updates (or we can move to 2.6 without a console keyboard, which I'm thinking about anyway). -- Stephen R.
