I suppose
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.18.tar.bz2
+
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/patch-2.6.19.bz2

is 2.6.18 + patches too then?

The versions people expect are those upstream chose and upstream is not
calling it 2.6.19 postrelease but 2.6.20 prerelease. Now that the big
Linus feature merges happen at 2.6.x-rc1 time there is absolutely no way
post 2.6.x-rc1 kernels are closer to 2.6.(x-1) than 2.6.x
