Not in the standard "main" repo they aren't. They are in Universe. So

Not quite. Those are Debian kernels, Ubuntu ones are called linux*,
Debian kernels (of any version) are all called kernel-*.

This is from my Debian server:-

alan at colossus:~$ dpkg -l kernel-image-* | grep ^ii
ii  kernel-image-2 101sarge1      Linux kernel image for version 2.4 on
PPro/C
ii  kernel-image-2 2.4.27-6       Linux kernel image for version 2.4.27
on PPr
ii  kernel-image-2 2.4.27-10sarge Linux kernel image for version 2.4.27
on PPr
ii  kernel-image-2 2.4.27-10sarge Linux kernel image for version 2.4.27
on PPr
ii  kernel-image-2 101sarge1      Linux kernel image for version 2.6 on
PPro/C
ii  kernel-image-2 2.6.8-16sarge1 Linux kernel image for version 2.6.8
on PPro
ii  kernel-image-2 2.6.8-16sarge6 Linux kernel image for version 2.6.8
on PPro

And this is on my Ubuntu desktop:-

alan at wopr:~$ dpkg -l linux-image-2.6* | grep ^ii
ii  linux-image-2.6.20-2-386      2.6.20-2.2     Linux kernel image for version 2.6.20 on i38
ii  linux-image-2.6.20-2-generic  2.6.20-2.2     Linux kernel image for version 2.6.20 on x86
ii  linux-image-2.6.20-3-generic  2.6.20-3.4     Linux kernel image for version 2.6.20 on x86
ii  linux-image-2.6.20-4-generic  2.6.20-4.6     Linux kernel image for version 2.6.20 on x86
ii  linux-image-2.6.20-5-generic  2.6.20-5.7     Linux kernel image for version 2.6.20 on x86
ii  linux-image-2.6.20-6-generic  2.6.20-6.11    Linux kernel image for version 2.6.20 on x86
