It should appear in the mirrors soon, it was moved out of
incoming recently.

The recent kernel packages (headers, sources, and image),
being build from the package kernel-package (or a close ancestor), do
not overwrite older versions. They allow you to keep as many versions
of images or sources on your system as you desire (you, then, have to
explicitly delete them to have them go away). I always have tow
versions myself ...

Yes, the newer kernel-image-X.X.XX packages (which handle all
these details for you).
