Thank you. I did this, rebooted into the new kernel, used aptitude
to remove the old one, and removed the obsolete kernel. Everything
is ticking along nicely.

In general I prefer to keep at least one different kernel version
installed, Just In Case, but in this particular case I too did get rid
of the -trunk- image ASAP because:

- it shouldn't have been uploaded to unstable in the first place
- it messes up the usual boot order (the most recent kernel first)
- I have enough kernels installed ;)

Andrei
