Hi Richard, on the one hand if your package manager is configured 
properly, it should handle this situation without trouble.

Remember to run "update" to refresh the list of packages available 
before "upgrade".

On the other hand, if you're going to do a manual search you've to look 
for "linux image" not "kernel image" because the latter is for use in 
building debian-installer images only.

Regards.
