Doesn't seem likely to me because the kernel packages don't depend
on much.

3.2 isn't _very_ new, is it? Did you install it as a deb package?

I suggest to use aptitude instead. It can e. g. show you what a given package
depends on (press d) and which packages depend on it (r).
After updating the package list, i always put all packages on hold (=) so
that nothing is changed until I want it.
You can also press g once to see what aptitude would do in this situation.
If you agree, press g again, if not, q.
If you still have problems, describe them in more detail.
