With x86 architecture I would either 
   
   apt-get install kernel-image

or

   apt-get install kernel-source

where one has to find the full name of the desired kernel-image and 
kernel-source on packages.debian.org or by grep-available or similar
methods. I guess that this is similar with other architectures.
Of course when you get kernel-source you'll have to compile and install
the kernel yourself. kernel-package can help here a lot.

In case you knew all that, what exactly do you mean by 
`how do I get the new kernel?'?
