Depends how you boot. I boot directly (well via symlink) the kernel in /boot, so this works fine. If you have a vfat partition then you have to copy the kernel over from /boot and rename it. That's why I switched to a single ext2 partition, much easier to maintain, especially with testing's regular updates.
