Good catch, thanks.
It's kernel-source-2.2.19. I'll upload corrections shortly.

You say the source you got was linux-2.2.19.tar.bz2? Is that a Debian
package? The reason I ask is I aimed it at getting sources as debianized
packages from the archive. When I installed the Debian package it left the
tarball in /usr/src as kernel-source-2.2.19.tar.bz2. Then I just went there
and untarred it.
I'll try to address the difference between using debianized kernel sources
and downloading sources elsewhere. I don't want to get to far off though
because I want this to be Debian specific.
