Dave, Alex, and others: sorry for the additional download and reboot; this additional -19 is unfortunate, and these changes were supposed to be present in the first -19 upload, but weren't (due to a misunderstanding). I hope the facts that the ABI wasn't bumped and that the two -19 updates were close to each other compensate, at least people waiting for 8.04.1 will only see one. Over the next cycle (intrepid) we will use a separate source package for lpia kernels, so all arches wont need to be updated at the same time and you wont have to pull such updates.
Gergely, if the latest kernel works for you, you don't need to keep the older ones and you can purge them. It's not easy to do so automatically for you: we don't want to remove the current kernel during an upgrade because, well, you're running it; also the new kernel might not boot at all and you need a way to recover your system in this case. However, the kernel team is working on building solutions to this problem; one building block is being able to boot the last known-working kernel.
