Stable and unstable kernel releases have nothing to do with stable and
unstable debian distribution trees. The Debian unstable tree always has
stable kernels for instance.
The stable and unstable debian distribution tree have different Packages
files though. Since the kernel included with "stable" has no major bugs
that needed to be fixed, it hasn't been changed in the bo tree and neither
in bo's Packages file. Maybe that explains why you didn't see it; you're
looking at the Packages file from bo.
