Yes, there are several. I checked first on my machine with

then double-checked at http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages by searching
for kernel-image-2.
Even PINE has built-in filtering capabilities, and threading. I don't see

Go to /etc/apt/apt.conf, and add the line 'APT::Cache-Limits xxx', where
xxx is the desirable size in bytes. Choose something like 12 or 24 M
