Of course, you can always get the vanilla kernel source and build one yourself using kernel-package. For bonus points, you can identify the fix and create a patch to the current Debian kernel source and submit it to the kernel team to see if it can be included. Of course, the bug would need to be rather serious for them consider such a thing this late in the release cycle.
