I'm unsure what you're getting at.

a) You don't need a kernel-image package. You're going to compile your
own, so you'll actually need the kernel sources (package name
kernel-source-[VERSION]).

b) Concerning the version number, it's advisable to use the kernel version
for which the patch was written. That gives the least problems :-)

Please refer to Roberto's mail, he has elaborated a bit on the details.
Don't give up too soon. Compiling the kernel is actually quite simple when
you go the Debian way and use a pre-made config file.
