The one exception to this is the kernel; since it's reasonable to have

I just compiled 2.2.18 using make-kpkg and, when I installed it, it
overwrote the old kernel (I would've prefered it to install it alongside
the old one and have an extra entry in my grub menu).
Is there a way to get dpkg to do this? (I'm very new to debian). I used
dpkg -i package to install it.
