Judging from

| $ LANG=C aptitude show linux-backports-modules-wireless-karmic-generic
| [...]
| Depends: linux-backports-modules-2.6.31-17-generic
| Description: Backported wireless drivers for generic kernel image
|  This empty package allows people to keep their backported wireless
|  modules up-to-date when upgrading their Linux kernel.

I don't think you'll have to worry about kernel upgrades. This package
will, as I understand it, be upgraded too and depend on the appropriate
linux-backports-modules-<whatever> package.

You're welcome.
