The latest kernel-source package in stable is 2.4.18.
If you intend to compile your own kernel, you can easily get
kernel-source-2.4.20 or kernel-source-2.4.21 from unstable, and use your
normal programs to compile and install it.
You don't need to abandon debian source packages to make a kernel later than
2.4.18.
