Err, debian/sid *isn't* defaulting to gcc-4.2 yet, but it is made available to people who want to install it and play with it. Additionally, the kernel build is actually tied to a specific compiler (doesn't default to just using whatever the default compiler is) so even when gcc-4.2 is eventually made the default compiler the linux images built for Debian won't use it immediately. That change will be made seperately and after additional testing to make sure it doesn't break the built kernel which is distributed.
