There are also 2.4.25 and 2.6.5 for powerpc.

Doing this right now is a very bad idea.  Mind if I upload 2.4.26

Surely you mean "Debian revision" when you say "version"?

For powerpc 2.6 kernels, this should have happened already.  At least,
bugs asking for {kernel-patch-powerpc,mol-modules}-2.6.{5,6} to be
removed from the archive have been filed and partly addressed.
