You should have:
kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686
kernel-image-2.6.8-2-386
kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686-smp
...
These are the actual kernel packages, the other ones are for transition only.
More information on a package with 'apt-chache show your-package-name'.

That's normal if you don't have sources for 'testing' or 'unstable'.
If you want to see those (and maybe install) you'll have to follow the steps for a mixed system
