Why is that?  Does that mean it's bad to let up2date update the kernel?

According to most documentation, kernel packages should be installed

How do I know which packages should use -i and which should use -U


        The simplest way to remember is that any package that contains a
/boot/vmlinuz-* file (an actual kernel) should *never* be updated with
-U.
