Debian does not provide compiled kernels for the released versions (now
Squeeze) other than the ones located at the backports repository¹.
However, you can always grab whatever kernel you prefer from the
"kernel.org" site and compile the sources by yourself which is also
pretty easy (detailed instrucctions can be found here²).
