I've amended the release notes to say:

2.2.1 is an even smaller incremental fix release to 2.2, primarily    
aimed at fixing some problems with the Adaptec 2940 driver which could
cause instability in very heavily loaded systems (like news servers).
It also fixes a bug which made the package installer fail from CDROM
media.  Since the 2.2.1. release follows 2.2 by just over a week,
other documentation still refers to this release as simply "2.2"
since this is a complete *replacement* for 2.2.0-RELEASE, not simply
another release.
