I noticed that even if new versions of the kernel are available in the

Is there any way I can have apt check to see if a new kernel version is

If you mean, "upgrade from 2.6.8 to 2.6.9", then you are right:
apt-get will not retrieve them, since they are 2 separate packages.
Of course, any new versions of your installed kernel will get
automatically installed.
Sorry I missed the original... If you install the package
"kernel-image-2.6-386" or "kernel-image-2.6-686" etc. (try "apt-cache
search kernel-image-2.6" for a full listing) you will get this behavior.
This package depends on the latest kernel in a series.
