FYI, kernel upgrades are *not* the only trigger for reboots. Other
packages may requests reboots as well. Some that I (vaguely) recall
from the top of my head include initramfs-tools and libc-bin.

You may find a /var/run/needs-reboot (or similar, don't remember the
exact name, nor location below /var) that is used as the trigger and
contains the packages that want to trigger. A reboot will remove the
file.

# find /var -name '*reboot*' should list the file, if it still exists.

Hope this helps,
