Just a note
I realized that the reason updates are prompted for is the presense of the meta packages. If we remove them, the linux-image packages will still be present, but dont get upgraded. Ie:
 linux-image-2.6.32-11-virtual
 linux-image-2.6.32-301-ec2
will still be around. Those packages are sometimes serviced, in which case their modules would possibly contain needed fixes and *should* be updated.

Basically, I think that the following fixes this issue:
  sudo apt-get remove linux-image-virtual linux-virtual linux-image-ec2 linux-ec2
