I think it's a "new kernel" when the Debian maintainers package a new
upstream release.  It's an "update" when they repackage an existing
kernel to include some sort of change (to the kernel or its packaging)
that they made.  It's all the same to the package management system,
though.  To it if they have different version numbers they are different
kernels and you can have as many installed as you want.
