I have linux-image-2.6-amd64 installed, that is a meta package that keeps the
latest 2.6-amd64 kernel installed (2.6.17-2-amd64 at the moment). You likely
have something like that that tracks the latest 2.4 kernel. Once you've made
the switch to a 2.6 kernel apt-get / dselect / aptitude will keep you upto
date. It's upto you if you want a 2.6 or 2.4 kernel.. :)
