Hello Nemeth,

For my set of circumstances, it is.  However, I neglected to take proper
note of yours.  You're using apt-get (etc.) and I tend to use Synaptic.
Clearly, behaviour is different in each case.

Mea Culpa.

With the meta-package installed on my system, Synaptic will pull in and
install the latest kernel, and run grub-config to update the boot
loader.  This result in making the new kernel the default, and demoting
an other kernel(s) installed.  Once I'm happy that the upgraded kernel
works as required, I can delete the old kernel(s), if I wish.  I usually
keep one older kernel available, 'just in case'.
