The kernel source package must be finalised about 2 weeks before that. There is now an official package (version 2.6.32-36) in the 'stable-proposed-updates' suite. The amd64, i386 and powerpc binary packages are all available for testing. It failed to build for some other architectures so we will be making at least one further upload before the point release.
