It will not update it until you'll reboot, of course.
I do not remember the exact behavior, but it will do as much as possible, and
ask your approval for the crucial things.
As you know, there is a chance that a new kernel without any means to have the
old one might prevent you from booting, so some precautions have to be taken
when installing a new kernel.
In any case, it worked for me more then once. I am sure that for lots of other
Debian users as well.
