For initial kernel updates, I always use -i. This retains my current one 
if I don't really like something and don't have to bother with a 
downgrade operation. I do the same with kernel-source.

Basically, do to kernel-source what ever you did on kernel. This way you 
won't have anything there you won't need (unless that's your plan).
