Is it already done?  If it's pended, I'll ask it to
debian-devel@lists.  The security support for 2.2 series was finished,
we have no reason to support 2.2 kernel.

Note that the current status of the support kernel versions are:

	amd64		2.6.0
	i386(i686)	2.6.0
	i386(amd64)	2.6.0
	*(nptl)		2.6.0
	ppc64		2.6.0
	s390x		2.4.1
	sparc64		2.4.18
	sparcv9		2.4.18
	sparcv9b	2.4.18

	others		2.2.0

They'll be changed to:

	i386(i486)	2.4.1
	powerpc		2.4.1 (?)

BTW, note that some architectures like m68k could not compile the
recent glibc with kernel 2.4.x or 2.6.x.
