Anyone making a deliberate choice of which kernel flavour to use is assumed to know what they're doing. A kernel flavour unsuitable for the current system could reasonably be installed while preparing a disk for use on a different system. A warning is given when upgrading linux-image-686 from squeeze to wheezy, where it now depends on linux-image-686-pae, as that is not a deliberate choice.
