The problem is a different one. Such a package will have a higher version
number than the next stable security update. It will also block legitimate
sarge updates because of its version unless it is removed, which is an
unattractive option because the users who need exactly this version can't
reinstall it any more, and the package still blocks security updates on
every machine it was installed.

Experimental has now a linux-patch-2.6-mips package.
