So how do I do it?
I Can't find sypaptic, in where I remember that I could "lock" certain packages to ensure that they kept their current version.

    Use aptitude. sudo aptitude hold linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic

    this updates the sources and does an upgrade like synaptic/apt-get dist-upgrade would sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade and with the first command your kernel will be held and ignored
