Let's make a real job of it. Metapackage: http://packages.debian.org/sid/linux-image-amd64 dep: linux-image-3.12-1-amd64 If you don't install the metapackage, but linux-image-3.12-1-amd64 only, than the kernel will not be automatically upgraded. There is no kernel part of this package: File list of package linux-image-amd64 in sid of architecture amd64 /usr/share/bug/linux-image-amd64/presubj /usr/share/doc/linux-image-amd64/NEWS.Debian.gz /usr/share/doc/linux-image-amd64/changelog.gz /usr/share/doc/linux-image-amd64/copyright Only the dependency is important. If you install http://packages.debian.org/sid/linux-image-3.12-1-amd64 without the metapackage, then it never will be upgraded, excepted there should be a version 3.12-2. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
