In general, apt-get {dist-,}upgrade will never advise installing new
kernels. It will install new kernels automatically if you have the
linux-image-ARCHNAME metapackage for your architecture installed; if you
don't have that metapackage installed (e.g. because you compile your own
kernels), then new kernels (other than minor upgrades of the currently
installed kernel version, if you're using a packaged kernel) will only
be installed if you explicitly install them.
