Not quite true: Adrian Bunk's tree has never been in Etch. The linux-2.6.16 package contained just the regular 2.6.16 kernel from linuxhq, not Adrian Bunk's tree. It was just uploaded as a separate package for technical reasons. The main reason that Adrian Bunks tree is not available in Debian is that the kernel team is not interested in maintaining that version (or rather a separate version in general) and providing security support for it.
