No.

Okay. This is what I did. I noticed in the description of
kernel-image-2.6-686:
$ apt-cache show kernel-image-2.6-686
Package: kernel-image-2.6-686
Priority: optional
Section: base
[...]
Source: kernel-latest-2.6-i386
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This.
Version: 100
Depends: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686
[...]
So I searched package source names on packages.debian.org (since I don't
have any source lines in my apt setup on this machine). And it returned
information on packages like kernel-latest-2.6-i386, as I described in
my email to this list.
In response to your statement I now added a sarge src line to my apt
config, and:
$ apt-cache showsrc kernel-latest-2.6-i386
Package: kernel-latest-2.6-i386
Binary: kernel-headers-2.6-k7, kernel-image-2.6-686,
kernel-image-2.6-k7-smp, kernel-image-2.6-386,
kernel-image-2.6-686-smp, kernel-headers-2.6-686,
kernel-headers-2.6-386, kernel-image-2.6-k7,
kernel-headers-2.6-k7-smp, kernel-headers-2.6-686-smp
Version: 100
Priority: optional
Section: devel
Maintainer: Debian kernel team <debian-kernel@lists.debian.org>
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 4)
Architecture: i386
Standards-Version: 3.6.1

However the apt-cache search kernel-latest doesn't seem to find any
returns for kernel-latest, so I guess kernel-latest is a strange type of
package. I guess we need some clues from the repository team?
