There isn't one that I know of.

Very true.  Why go with a 2.2 kernel then?  Debian Stable is not what
you want if you don't want a 2.2 or 2.4 kernel.  HOWEVER, if you were
looking for a stable distribution, and you didn't need kernel 2.6
features, then Debian Stable is arguable one of the *most* stable
distributions out there.

"Changes" generally are not the purpose of backporting.  "Fixes" is a
more appropriate word.
