You should have:

kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686
kernel-image-2.6.8-2-386
kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686-smp
...

These are the actual kernel packages, the other ones are for transition only.

That's normal if you don't have sources for 'testing' or 'unstable'.
If you want to see those (and maybe install) you'll have to follow the steps 
for a mixed system
