There are plenty. Kernels don't get updated in the same way as other
packages. If you want to track the latest version of the kernel,
install (in your case) linux-image-amd64. Even then, old kernels aren't
removed on upgrade for safety reasons - in a worst case scenario, it
could leave your system unable to boot.
