How do I find out if there is a new version of linux kernel package is
available? - I mean, having 3.1 installed, to know that 3.2 is
available?

For the present I do it by

apt-cache search linux-image

and then look for what is available.

Is there a more elegant way?

w3m -dump http://packages.debian.org/unstable/kernel/ | grep linux-image-3.*pae | mail -s "kernel images available" brian

is about as elegant as it gets here. Could be scripted, of course, and
cron could be in on the act.


apt-cache policy linux-image-3.*
