That does seem like a bit of an oversight, though I am not sure
what effect it would have. Actually, I'm not sure that we are
using .extraversion. In any case it seems like something
that kernel-packge - the tool used to build the kernel images -
should be worried about. I've CCed its maintainer, Manoj, for
comment.

I suspect you got those numbers from a search on
bugs.debian.org. They aren't actually current bug numbers,
most current bugnumbers are somewhere above #280000.
Could you please go back to the page you were looking
and report the bug numbers, they are preceeded by a #.
For instance, if I look at the following link,
then the first bug there at this moment in time is
#279689: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-1-686: freeze when starting rivafb
That can be universally refered to as #279689.

Could you give some details of the failure that you are seeing?
