I tried that but found that the installation process had not gotten far
enough into things to create an entry (?) for the installation of the newer
image.  So an attempt to uninstall it prior to completion of the upgrade
would have removed the custom image.  (Is this what you are thinking about?)

I think my problem will be solved if I simply put the kernel-image on hold
using aptitude.  This time around I didn't realize that it was on the list
to be upgraded...

Thanks for the help!
