I use a small script for Nagios checks that I give the supposed-to-be
booted kernel (e.g. 2.6.18-6-686). I'll change that to have the option 
to check /proc/version instead of uname -r.

I'm more comfortable with changing the Nagios configuration for each
kernel update than by relying on some up-to-date APT cache to determine
the current kernel. But I guess that's a matter of taste.

Cheers,
Mike
