hm, i have no idea how it would deal with the kernel issue in a
dist-upgrade but the kernel isn't just updated like that when a new one
is released (you may have noticed this much..)
i just did an upgrade though because of the security alert.. that was a
simple apt-get install kernel-image-2.2.19.. like a charm!! this is sooo
beautiful.. thank you, debian developers for making life this easy!! :-)
anyway, i hope that answered at least part of your question.. have fun..
