I agree. But maybe you should cook your own using kernel-package
just grab the kernel source off the nearest kernel.org mirror untar it
and
make {config, menuconfig, xconfig}
then
make-kpkg clean && make-kpkg --revision I --subarch NNN --arch_in_name
kernel_image
I should be a number to differentiate between different kernels in dpkg
NNN should be the arch notation taken from the table above
after this it should compile and you should have a kernel optimized for
your architecture. Also if one kernel doesnt work, be sure to uninstall
it before you install a new one that you re-compiled.
