I've noticed recently that ftp.debian.org no longer produces new kernel deb's.* I do use these to get newer kernel features, but I'm fine with the latest 2.6.30.8 for now.* Is there any particular reason this is happening?* I realize the kernel team is quite busy and it's also quite a tight group of folks, however, if there is any room to help out, I'm more than willing.

Thanks for any information you can offer.

please went writing emails use the <enter> key from time to time

don't know for which arch you are waiting but most 2.6.31 are
there, except where it did not build (alpha, powerpc). x86_32
is for example waiting in NEW for ftp master to stop messing
with the archive (see their latest debian-devel-announce mail)

This is due to ongoing changes in the archive, preventing processing
of the new queue for the time being. You'll see that 2.6.31 is in sid,
but only the amd64 build until these changes are completed.

You can always do your own build from the source in the archive, or
from what is in svn.

We have uploaded 2.6.31 to sid but not all architectures have binary
packages because NEW processing is stalled. See
