Which distribution? stable (potato), testing (woody) or sid?

If you're using testing or sid,

    apt-get update
    apt-get install python2.2

should install it.

You don't need the unstable package. python2.2 is already in testing
(woody).

If this doesn't work for you, most probably you haven't set up your
/etc/apt/sources for packages from testing or sid, yet.
