It's 
        linux-image-2.6-686
and
        linux-source-<version>

actually :)

adding 
        deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main
in your 
        /etc/apt/sources.list 
and running
        apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

should fix everything for u without much hassle (just reboot afterwards).

However you could add the testing repositories, create a preferences file (to 
block testing packages from being used automatically) and only install the 
testing kernel package.

Here's how:

* add testing to your sources.list file 
* create /etc/apt/preferences with the following contents:

Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian,a=stable
Pin-Priority: 900

Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian,a=testing
Pin-Priority: 400

* #apt-get update
* #apt-get install linux-image-2.6-686 -t testing

apt-get upgrade will still stick to sarge/stable (best of both worls ;)
