Unless there's an epoch that makes it look newer, this will indeed be
the case. I don't see the point of this change though. Why not cal
it 2.4.22-21.whatever or 20.2030, or even 20.1.2030, such that it is
clearly newer than the already-released kernel? Version numbers
shouldn't go back without a very good reason, IMHO.
