Support for it was in squeeze, and first packages begun to
use it shortly afterwards, so for years. I think I even saw
it being used before squeeze, for leaf packages such as -dbg
ones or those with huge data.

On the other hand, to actually *boot* a system successfully
with this kernel you need an initrd, which requires a system
up to date as of roughly end of 2012, anyway (due to the
initramfs-tools package and the versions of the packages
that are actually needed to be put *on* the initrd, and due
to the initrd being expected to be xz IIRC). So I'm afraid
you need to boot into at least Linux 3.2 first - images are
at http://snapshot.debian.org/package/linux/3.2.35-2/ and
also require xz to unpack already, but that can be done on
any Unix box (even BSD) using ar and tar; those are mostly
monolithic and don't require an initrd to boot - then to
dist-upgrade your system to latest unstable, at which point
you can apt-get install the 3.10 kernel.

No, the only way I've seen them sold is for $40 with a free OpenBSD CD.
