I don't use Adept.  I don't find it particularly 'ept', either (fwiw,
synaptic is no better), but I just opened up Adept, entered 'kernel' into
the search box, and voila - linux-image... showed (amongst many other
choices, but just as many as you'd have got searching in Synaptic).  It's
slightly different from synaptic, but certainly not worse.
