What kernel packages do you have installed? If you don't have a kernel-metapackage that always depends on the newest kernel, then you won't get the newer kernel.
Look at what packages depend on the newer kernel. At least one will be a kernel meta-package. Install the one that always depends on the newest kernel.
For example, on my Etch box, I have:
linux-image-amd64, which depends on:
linux-image-2.6-amd64, which depends on: linux-image-2.6.18.5-amd64
This will mean that I will always have the most recent kernel automatically selected, even if it jumps to linux-image-2.8.
