You did it right - Debian is taking its own sweet time coming out with Potato. Too bad too, because by the time it is out - everybody is going to want to go to the 2.4 kernel and they will be behind again. If history can be used to judge the future - they will be behind for over 1 year - when they will probably be behind again :) In the end - I see the only people using Debian are the gear-heads who are apt fans. Make way for Corel and Storm - the debian descendants.
