Because you can have several kernels installed at the same time, and
choose which to boot into.  In this case you still have the default
Feisty kernel installed in addition to the one you are running.
Upgrading the package for the older kernel shouldn't affect you as
long as it finds your current kernel when updating the GRUB
configuration.
