Comment 24 for bug 196439

still an issue:

$ apt-cache policy linux-generic
linux-generic:
  Installed: 2.6.27.7.11
  Candidate: 2.6.27.7.11
  Version table:
 *** 2.6.27.7.11 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/restricted Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I hope that this will be solved in the next release
