I've never seen that before. Another way of doing is
echo "kernel-image-2.2.17 hold" | dpkg --set-selections

Hold didn't work. I tried that from dselect and dselect decided to override my decisions... Obviously it knew better. As gusl suggested, seeting the epoch to 2: made it good. -- Sure, I subscribe to USENET, but I only get it for the articles.

Well those who've been following the wrong advice certainly got bitten :)
The correct way to make sure your local packages don't get upgraded is to
put them on hold.
Another way is to use --flavour local.
It will be irrelevant soon when the default kernel images come with a
flavour.

apparently herbert screwed up somewhere ;)
roach:~> apt-cache show kernel-image-2.2.17 | grep Version:
Version: 1:2.2.17-1
to quote from /usr/doc/kernel-package/README.gz,
"I fear, though, that with the introduction of epochs in kernel
image versions shame has entered the garden of eden, and we must
forever use epochs to guard against forced upgrades."
ie: make it 1:willow.1, or just 9:willow.1 and be done with it.
