Maybe I don't see all the problems, but why don't we name the packages 

        kernel-{doc,headers,image,source}-2.0   2.0.38-<debianrevision>
        kernel-{doc,headers,image,source}-2.2   2.2.12-<debianrevision>

which would reduce the effort of the ftp maintainer and speed up
upgrading our ftp archive from 2.2.12 to 2.2.13.  The dependencies
between the kernels and the kernel depending modules could be realized 
using versioned dependencies, couldn't they?

Maybe we should add an unstable kernel to the stable versions above:

        kernel-{doc,headers,image,source}-2.3   2.3.18-<debianrevision>

Ciao
