Do an apt-get update to make sure you have the most updated cache.
If you do an apt-get install <packagename> it should tell you if you have
the most recent version, and if not it will update it.
As for the kernel, you will not get a newer kernel from a dist-upgrade. You
need to either download the source packages and compile a new kernel, or
install one of the kernel image packages. Do an apt-cache dump |grep
kernel-image-<version if you know it> and it will show you all the different
available kernel image packages.
