I recently upgraded from 14.04 to 14.10, and I noticed the kernel hasn't been upgraded. Then I noticed that the package linux-generic was missing. I've been hacking my way through the logs and noticed this entry in /var/log/apt/history.log.2.gz:

I'm pretty sure the history of this install is that I "upgraded" to 14.04 via a clean install, and then at some point installed the nvidia legacy drivers through the standard repository gui. I'm guessing that's when linux-generic was removed, and that's why the upgrader didn't update my kernel.
