Try "apt-cache show" on one of the "kernel-image-2.4-(CPUarchitecture)"
packages. You'll see that the description says it is a wrapper package that
always points (via a dependency) to the corresponding
"kernel-image-2.4.*-*-(CPUarchitecture)" package (currently a
"kernel-image-2.4.22-1-(CPUarchitecture)" package).
