If Im not mistaken.  apt-get upgrade will only upgrade kernels supplied
by debian.  Kernels made by make-kpkg will stay on your system till you
remove them.  I have been using make-kpkg since Ive used debian.  I
still have some of my first kernel laying around(maybe I should go clean
them out).  apt has yet to upgrade any of them even though there are
2.4.18 and 2.4.17 kernels in there.
