Since 2.4.23 does not appear to be in unstable, should we all go out
and download it ourselves?
Yes.
It's very simple; just compile your own kernel and package it for
yourself so it'll be managed by dpkg.
Look at the package 'make-kpkg'. The principle is something like
/usr/src$ tar -zxf linux-2.4.23.tar.gz
/usr/src$ cp linux-2.4.22/.config linux-2.4.23
/usr/src$ cd linux-2.4.23
/usr/src/linux-2.4.23$ make oldconfig
/usr/src/linux-2.4.23$ fakeroot make-kpkg kernel_image modules_image
.. and dpkg -i the .deb that appears in /usr/src .
