In any case, I completely disagree with "much better way of doing it".  How 
exactly does using a GUI magically make it clear what you've done?

# sudo aptitude purge ~i2.6.28-12

would, for instance, remove everything related to the 2.6.28-12 kernel 
(including source and headers).  Simpler _and_ more obvious than using 
synaptic, where you would likely remove the kernel _image_ and miss the 
headers.
