I guess it should. But to tell you the truth, I cannot see a package
named "linux-image-2.4.27" anywhere, only "kernel-image-2.4.27". Either
I am blind, or such package does not exist in Debian. I am a little
confused here...

The confusion runs deeper!  When I compiled my _own_ 2.4.27, the
custom package created is called 'linux-image-2.4.27_<customized
bits>'.  The 2.4.27 _source_ package is still called
'kernel-image-2.4.27'.  It gets better.  The 2.6.x source
package _used_ to be called 'kernel-source-2.6.x'.  The last one
so called, I think, was 2.6.8.  The name changed to
'linux-source-2.6.x' so that aptitude, when asked for the current
version of kernel-source-2.6.x reported that there was none
available!!  Not a smooth transition.
