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.
