I am talking about 2.2.20.

I was trying to do something with the stable boot-disks, and when I
looked to see what version kernel they used I found 2.2.20.

I then looked at the Debian Packages web site under the stable
distribution, and the source package for 2.2.20 was not listed.

This is no real problem to me as 2.2.20 is available under testing (or
sid?), so my question REALLY was, 
   "Is the fact that 2.2.20 is missing from the stable package list a
   bug?"

Does this make things clear?
