As said in another mail. Why not upload the missing piece of 2.2 to
testing-proposed-updates (provided they are not buggy per see, just hold
up by glibc and co) and then go forward by uploading 2.4 to sid, and
making sure the 2.4 will not enter sarge until we think it ready by
filling bogus bug report or something such.
