Thanks Holger.
>From what I understand, kernel-image-2.4.18-1-* supersedes the other
package.  In other words, kernel-image-2.4.18-1-686 is a source package
replacement for kernel-image-2.4.18-686.  At least, the latter is the
only one that was getting security patches.

Can anyone confirm this for sure?

btw, I've tested one of the ia64 flavors & it was fine too - wiki
updated to reflect this.
