Uh, 2.4.18-bf2.4 was built solely for use with the woody installer, and is
only available in oldstable. If you're considering using it as the kernel
on a newly-installed system, then it would seem support isn't of vital
importance to you after all.

That wouldn't really be the right name for the flavor ("bf" refers to "boot
floppies", the old Debian installer), but I suppose a compact flavor that
statically enables a number of modules common to older hardware would be
feasible.
