kernel-source-2.4.21 is the latest available in Debian unstable, so you could just get that one, as well as alsa-source, kernel-patch-2.4-lowlatency, kernel-patch-2.4-preempt. You probably also want to apply the capability patch (manually, see jack docs @ jackit.sf.net). I think this is the kernel setup that most people use.

For the 2.6.0-test series, you should get the latest from kernel.org, since the Debian packackes are some weeks behind.
