Hm, hard to say, check out
http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=kernel-image-2.6&searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all.
When I upgrade to a newer kernel or make a new installation, I download
the source of the latest stable one from http://kernel.org/ (unless I
know I need some feature that is only in a more recent kernel). I prefer
using kernels configured and compiled to what I need, and I have never
had trouble with kernels compiled from the standard source on Debian.
Eventually check out /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes to find out if
you got a sufficiently recent version of the required programs.
Compiling your own kernel might be the best way to go since you won't
have features in it that are not needed. What's not there can't cause
problems and doesn't eat ressources :)
For servers, I try to keep them stripped down to what's actually needed
and/or useful, regarding both the kernel and the software/packages
installed.
